Some poskim say that rent due for space in a building is subject to bal talin.<ref>Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 127. see Shulchan Aruch CM 339:1 who quotes that there are those who say that land cannot be subject to bal talkin.

# According to the poskim that using a building is subject to bal talin, the rental fees for using a mikveh would be subject to that prohibition. However, this only applies if the mikveh has a policy of no credit. In many cases though, the people in charge consent to the use paying at a later time when necessary. Accordingly, this would not be subject to bal talin, but one who doesn't pay then would be missing out on the positive mitzva of paying on time.<ref> Halachos of Other People's Money pg. 131 in the name of Rav Scheinberg</ref>
