I got my landlord onto Venmo to pay utilities. She wanted a check slipped under her door. That wasn't happening. Now she just requests the amount every month and all I have to do is tap "Pay".

Did you look into online bill pay?

I had a landlord who wanted paid by check... I was able to set up an online bill pay with my credit union that automatically mailed out a physical check each month.

I was happy because I could automate it like I did my other bills, she was happy because she didn't have to pay credit card processing fees.

As the other HNer noted below, we've had free BillPay in banks for decades now. It's also safer than Venmo.
