No. They do not have to accept whatever form of payment is offered. They can refuse to accept a personal check, that is a form of payment. Hardly any restaurants accept a personal check these days. They can also refuse to accept a credit or debit card, which is also a form of payment. I know several restaurants around here that don't take plastic. They have an ATM available for you to withdraw cash from your account. Even if it isn't stipulated in the contract, the property manager, or owner, can refuse to accept cash, no different than refusing to accept your personal check. Everyone has brought up examples of debt. You're just micro-defining what debt is. If you owe money, whether for rent, car payment, personal loan, groceries, a Big Gulp, you owe a debt. Most of us are wondering the same.[/QUOTE]
