What are usually the terms of payment?

At the signature of the offer to lease, the lessor usually asks for the first and the last rent in guarantee. The rent is generally paid by monthly installments. The required methods of payment could be the following ones:

• the lessee hands over his monthly check to the lessor;
• the lessee delivers a series of postdated checks while mentioning, on the face of the check, the words "not negotiable" to make sure that the lessor will not discount the checks in advance;
• preauthorized withdrawals in the bank account of the lessee.
