    Maybe you should write a cheque if you have a cheque book, at least then there's a record of payment with your bank and also with the landlord's bank

    I'd go for a bank draft if it is going to be a substantial amount... There can be absolutely no dispute then as the bank will show the payee and it can only be cashed by that person

    Bank drafts aren't very secure these days.

    Drafts are often treated as cash and have poor traceability. While you can cancel a cheque if it gets lost, with a draft you can end up waiting years for it to expire and for you to get your money.
