I’m asking why in the US people don’t pay rent weekly. Where I live it’s the most common way of doing it.

Basically all bills in the US come in monthly. Keeps the number of transfers, letters, and emails down. And as everything is on the same schedule, it works pretty well.

A biweekly bill would fuck over a bunch of people as it would occasionally come in three times in a month; necessitating a larger amount of cash on hand to account for these months. (And people are, overall, really bad about having any cash on hand)

Edit: Rejiggered the comment a bit

Edit 2: People get paid in the US either monthly or biweekly.

Ah, this is different than the other comment implied. They said:

I tend to forget that salaries are paid weekly in the US. Then this makes at least somewhat sense.
