I have heard that a tactic renters sometimes use is to approach the
landlord while he's on the grounds or out doing maintenance, and try to
pay the rent with big bills that are deliberately not exact change.
When the landlord refuses the cash, the renter can later claim in court
during the eviction proceedings that he has attempted to pay the rent
and been refused.

I have no personal experience with this; it's all hearsay, so take it
for what it's worth.
