@The_other_fish the fact we had to make this rule says a lot about Australia tbh.

Like:.

"We heard you like rent seeking, so we put a rent seeker between your real estate agent rent seeker and your landlord rent seeker. So you can have three levels of rent seeking between you and your apartment"

It's scummy. They have to provide one fee free way to pay so usually make it the most inconvenient one. For me it is a cheque to their office during business hours
