The relavance is the cash is perfectly legal and exceptable form of payment

There is no relevance. Cash may be an acceptable form of payment, but so is cheque, direct debit, credit/debit card, brass buttons etc if the parties agree to it.

Legal tender is not relevant because its a legal mechanism only under english law where you cannot be sued for the non-payment of debt if you offer to pay the debt in legal tender.

So the landlord is dodging paying tax. Anything else he's dodging paying for, such as gas and electricity safety checks? And if you're mugged between the cash machine and the flat, you'll be paying twice.


Give him a cheque, and if he doesn't like it that's his problem.

You have made up the fact that the Landlord is not paying Tax
You could not possibly know.

It’s perfectly legal just get yourself a receipt.
