You'd have to ask your landlord.
The answer is probably going to be no.
What's wrong with a standing order (as rental payments generally don't routinely change from month to month)?0 -
a standing order would be better for you....0

If your landlord has the facilities for direct debits and agrees then no problem..realistically though, this is unlikely but standing order would be quite acceptable to most landlords"If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools"
Extract from "If" by Rudyard Kipling0 -
with standing order the landlord can't increase the amount you pay without your agreement ,with direct debit he can ."Do not regret growing older, it's a privilege denied to many"0
-
a standing orders on the other hand is an instruction (in writing) from you to your own bank to pay £X to person Y on date Z until such time as you tell the bank to stop.
Doesn't necessarily have to be in writing - NatWest online banking allows you to set up SOs. I expect that most, if not all, other online banking systems have the facility too.0 -

he can increase the rent but he cannot get you to pay it unless you up the standing order0

Does the OP actually mean they now by something like cheque and would rather pay via a method which comes directly out of their bank??0
