Refunding Tenant with Cash

Scott Roman
Posted

Hello!  I am a small-time, beginner landlord with only one property.  I have a Section 8 tenant who is planning to move out by the end of February.  They paid rent for January through Zillow's rental manager, but Section 8 reevaluated the payment amounts and will pay all of the tenant's rent for January and February.  So right now, I have extra rent from my tenant that I need to refund, however, I do not want to write a check because my home address is on the check.  I also looked into a cashiers check, but with our current bank, our address would appear on the cashiers check as well.

Would it be appropriate to refund the tenant with cash?  If not, what other options do you think would be more appropriate?  

Thanks for any sage advice!
