I'm wondering if you can use your PayPal account as a checking account to pay rent online, using your checking account number and routing number as found in the direct deposit part. Has anyone tried this?

Hi @Nickneptune,
Unfortunately, the information found within your PayPal Direct Deposit can only be used to receive payments, not send them. We do have a Bill Payment service that you may be able to use in order to pay rent. You can find information on this service by visiting the link here.
I hope this helps!
