after hurricane katrina my apartment was washed away along with their copy of the lease. I always just hit up the ATM right down the road on the way home from work to get the monies for my half of the rent. FEMA told me i couldn't prove I lived there so I had a rough time of it.
the odd thing is that I did prove it 5 times, but they apparently wanted either the lease (which was in the gulf of mexico) or a check as proof. So as far as (at least that part of) the government is concerned, the checks can cover your ass better than going electronic.
