Re: rent
If your landlord has not received your rent check, then it would be appropriate for him or her to send you a notice to quit.
In order to defeat an eviction for non-payment of rent, you should immediately cancel your previous check and write a new check. Send it to your landlord by certified mail, return receipt requested.
