A check, that is petty revenge for sure. We had a portal when we were renting from a slumlord (though we were renting a ridiculously awesome house from them for a reasonable price, one they owned themselves, most of their portfolio was dumps owned by Chinese people who bought them unseen) and yeah it had a fee but $3/month was the fee. I still thought it was funny, paying online is cheaper for them than dealing with my paper check, but we have to cover the cost of online portal but not the check? I'd probably charge people for giving me a check and make online free, if anything.
We did pay pet deposit, not pet rent. Fair I think, pets do add liability, even rabbits might get stressed and piss in the corner or something.
Oh yeah, they're little pissers.
However, we already had a pet addendum, and laid out the pet fees and conditions for keeping the rabbits in the apartment. We also don't let them on carpet because eating synthetic fibers can bind up their gut and cause them to die horribly.
Go the steam route, make it as convenient as possible and people will be happy to give you money.
