Re: Rent check came back NSF and has not been made good on
Yes, it is a misdemeanor crime to pass a worthless check. You can file criminal charges against him. Most local State Attorney's Offices have a Worthless Check Division which is set up specifically to prosecute such cases. I recommend filing a police report promptly and then contacting the SAO Worthless Check Division for further information and guidance.
