Good Luck

She can stop payment on the check and send a new one. If there's any fee for stopping payment she'd be within her rights to deduct that from the replacement check.

She should check with her bank and see if the check has been paid. If the LL endorsed it and cashed it, a copy of the canceled check will stop any eviction dead in its tracks.

If she paid in cash and has her receipt, she only needs to show that to the judge if it ever goes to court. However if he does file the formal eviction action, she MUST respond to it by the deadline in the court papers or he WILL get a default judgment against her.


Rex
Since the money order was not cashed she can go back to the bank and get another one. She will be OK within the 3 days.

And yes, this is completely legal.

Your friend is still able to pay. Just because the landlord lost the first payment is no reason not to give them the rent. It happens, and your friend should be understanding of this and cooperate fully to make the payment. Although without putting any additional moneys at risk over and above regular rent. I would however ask tha landlord to be patient and wait a spell top see if the payment clears at the bank. The payment could have been stolen by someone how is going to cash it. If payment clears the bank, I would consider rent paid in full and landlord has wrongfully terminated tenancy. This would mean the landlord is in violation of rental agreement and friend should be able to bring suit againest landlord for expenses of moving, etc...

if they acknowledge receipt of payment, then i think the ball is in her Court but will need to appear in court to defend her side

she should start the process to get a new money order, to demonstrate is is playing it fair, i would believe the judge would assume as long as she is taking the necessary step to replace the money order she is OK

she should not bare the responsibility to pay for one money order then another based on the negligence of the landlord


woah.imissyou
I'm pretty sure you HAVE to
give people a months
notice.
=/

If it was a check and your friend will not be out any more money, see needs to reissue the check if she fails to do so she could possable be kicked out, if they cashed it and then lost the money they are at fault and she is not responsible for there stupidity she needs to contact an attorney.


answerit
I think they need to take a piece of pipe to the L.L.office and clean house till they find the check.


BeeGirl
i don;t think it's legal but i think it depends on the state that you live in....
1. How does she know they received it on time......? Did she hand it to them personally or mailed it. Because it sounds a lil'wierd that they'll kick them out and only give them 3days If they got it on time and they misplaced it. They'll be losing a lot more by having to find new tenants...UNLESS this is an occurring problem.

2. They (ur friends) should look at their leasing contract which could state the amount of days a landlord has to give them.
