hey so i know this isn’t quite the right place to ask this, but i’m not sure where to go and i figured y’all might be able to help me out or at least point me in the right direction.
to pay rent for my apartment, i use “Rent Cafe”. i went to pay for my second month of rent (i successfully paid the first month by linking my bank account and paying directly from my account) and my bank account is no longer attached…not only that, but a ENTIRELY random bank account is attached instead. it is not my roommates, a family members, my roommates family members, a past tenant, etc. etc. i have absolutely no idea who it belongs to. that being said, i have the capability to charge my full rent to this random persons bank account… this is incredibly unnerving and feels negligent and maybe even illegal? im very worried that someone else might have access to my bank account too (maybe they got switched somehow). i emailed the property manager and she just told me to remove it and ignored all of my concerns. what do i do? how do i proceed? is this illegal?
i’ll make a separate post with some screenshots and link it here.
thanks in advance
