Replying to Paying rent in the US in 2016 - More like 1816.

So I have to pay rent for the first time in the US this month, and the only way to pay my rent is by check apparently. Yes, actual middle-age paper checks.

And I am not paying rent to an old lady in Iowa neither, we are talking about a property management agency (or whatever it's called) in Manhattan. I wanted to set up an electronic transfer or something to pay automatically each month, I can't be bothered with this shit. But when I asked it was like I was speaking latin and 'this is not the way it works in the US'.

You are telling me that american people actually write a little check and put it in an enveloppe each month? In 2016?

How do you guys pay rent? There is no way I am going to do that each month, I need a workaround.
