conversation: User (willstr1): "My landlord won't accept personal checks and I don't want to go to the bank each month during banking hours to get a cashier check. Is it common for landlords to not accept personal checks? What are good alternatives to cashier checks (other than money orders)?"
  Self: "Open a bank account with a bank that will send the checks for you. If he doesn't accept checks, that's his prerogative. I would guess he's been stiffed in the past and it's his right. "
