I don't know, just to play devil's advocate, if I were a landlord and I had a tenant that expected me to verify right away whenever their rent hit my account, I could see how I might find that a little annoying. I've got other things to do...even if that's sitting in a chair and doing nothing. I mean all the years I made a mortgage payments or paid rent, whether it was via a check or transferring via my bank account, I never got feedback from the other bank (or apartment management) that it hit their account, let alone immediate feedback...only if it was late :)...and even that wasn't immediate. To me it isn't about the quickness with which they do it but whether or not that's really their obligation at all.
