Best Method of Paying our Seasonal Lease to our USA Resort.

Hi, have not been on the Open Roads Forum lately.
Have a question that might be asked a lot now, is how others pay their Season Lease in their Communities in the southern USA.

As Canadians we have a house in Florida and its on Leased Land and in a Resort, the lease is due on November 1st, 2020.

We could just mail a cheque and follow it via the Post Office or possibly use other methods like E-Transfer, TD Global Transfer or other sources like XE, World Remit....etc.

These other sources may not charge the transfer rate but apparently make their money on the space between the actual currency rate and their charges.

Just wondering how others do theirs, every other year we were in Florida by November 1st but this year does not look good so we will wait until the situation hopefully gets better.

Thanks for any suggestions.

    A cheque, yes I think you are right, best option and follow it thru the post office so you know that it has arrived, BTW I mailed thru the Canadian Postal System a letter a while ago to Florida and it took two months to get there, the obvious reply is "COVID-19, all excuses result in this now!

    The lease people HTA (Hometown America) do not accept a credit card...poor souls, might lose a % of their lease fees, money grubbers must get every cent possible.

    Thanks for your replies.
