Cash is fine as is meeting at his office. Make sure to get a reciept which is clearly signed and dated. When you move in take pics of everything and note down on a blank a4 page a list of problems if there is any.

If you have a list of problems give the LL a copy of the list. That way if you move out he can't blame you for causing the problems. Even if it's little things that won't bother you while you live there. Just cover your own ass.
