OP writes...."signed lease does not state method of payment" which means that the landlord can DESIGNATE what form of payment he wants...pennies, beans, etc.

Incorrect... If nothing is clearly written in the lease, than it reverts to what is allowed per the states LL/T laws. If LL/T laws state it is illegal to take cash, than LL would be in violation of state LL/T laws.

Ummm - no. It means the opposite. If it's not stated in the lease, it would revert to what is legally allowed......
