- Simple. Every rental agreement I've ever seen has the simple clause,
- "tenant agrees to all terms of this agreement, as may be from time to
- time reasonably amended by the management, with 30 days written
- notice," or something to that effect.

- Theft attractiveness via holding large amounts of cash on a regular
- schedule is a legitimate concern. If the 7-11 doesn't have to accept
- your $100 bill after dark, your landlord is certainly not going to be
- forced to accept six of them, from multiple parties, on the same day.
