rent payment - What have you been offered for it?

We have several SFH's rentals and now we started renovating/managing a 12-plex we just purchased. One of the tenants got the 3 day notice after a month and a half of promising to pay rent. Well...the 3rd day was up on Wednesday night...that Tuesday night..at 11:40PM...we get a call from the tenants Mom...offering a bracelet as payment for her daughter's rent. My husband who took the call told her we have a rental business...we are not the red cross NOR a pond shop. She was out by the end of her third day...only after telling her Mom that we would also take her daughter to court for back rent and damages and that we will make sure to dent her records. Anyways...I've never been offered STUFF for rent. And by the way...SFH's are a lot easier to manage then appartment buildings!
Have any of you taken something other then money as rent payment?

All I've ever been offered is:

hot air
empty promises
fast talking
vague innuendos
hard-luck stories
don't worry 'cause I've found religion
trust me
trust my mom
new job starts next month
some threats to call lawyers

and on and on......
