Rent Check Q

domesticzookeeper · 08-13-2015, 08:56 AM

I live in a duplex & turned in this month's rent check on July 30th. It still hasn't been cashed

If:

I have a receipt from the property management office that confirms I dropped off the check.
We obviously aren't being evicted, nor have the landlords/property manager made any attempts to contact us.
I keep a ridiculously close eye on my bank account anyway, and still have enough for the check to clear (and then some)

Should I be concerned?

Should I ask the property manager? This is just so odd. We've been in this place for four months now, and normally the check clears by the 3rd.

I'd ask.

Yes, ask.

Which, I suppose, confirms that this is not

Property manager's response: "It’s okay, I’m behind!"

So there ya go

It still hasn't been cashed yet, just FYI. I'm about a week away from dropping off our next check

Crazy! Now you know to always save receipts.

Yikes! I would be tempted to feel like they didn't need the money. I'm sure that if you didn't drop it off though they'd notice? Maybe? I'd be fairly upset.

We don't use a property management company, so I am not sure how that works, but I am notorious for forgetting to deposit the rent check! It is really rare that I have it in the bank by this point in the month.
