My landlord doesn’t live in the US (if that matters) and has requested that I pay rent via PayPal. The first time I made the payment, I labeled it as goods and services. Shortly after, I received an email from my landlord telling me to label it as personal. This didn’t sit right with me so I kept labeling it as a business transaction. Well, rent is due tomorrow and I just got an aggressive email about how rent needs to be labeled as personal and that PayPal wants “too much information” for a business transaction. I’m convinced this has to be a way to dodge taxes but I don’t know enough about PayPal and how the IRS keeps track of things like this.
I decided to just give in and label it as personal since I already have a somewhat rocky relationship with the landlord. Turns out when I do that, I now have to pay the fee. Nowhere in my lease agreement does it say that I have to pay these fees. Can my landlord make me pay these fees?
