You could simply open a second checking account at your bank, once a month deposit the rent into that account and then pay the landlord with that account.
This should alleviate any concerns about your information being stolen or account compromised because only the rent will be put in that account once a month. The account will be used for nothing else so you don’t have to worry.
If you do open a second checking account for this purpose always always make sure that you do not except overdraft protection.
I don’t know your age but chances are at some point you may have to get used to things electronically again. I have to be honest with you I never manually pay any bill everything is electronic and I love it.
I also use credit cards whenever possible to make payments because with a credit card you never are responsible for any fraudulent charges, that’s the credit card companies problem not yours.
Never ever use a debit card to pay a bill, only credit cards that are not linked to your checking account.
