The place for payment of rent or money, according to the condition of the lease or obligation, is to be strictly observed.

Explanation

When a contract or lease specifies a place of payment, that term must be strictly followed — tender at a different location does not satisfy the obligation.

Where this applies

• My lease says I must pay rent at the landlord's office but I mailed it instead.
• The contract specifies payment at a certain bank but I deposited it at a different branch.
