Re: Cancel deposit return check? by John Brayton (Massachusetts) on August 20, 2015 @11:43

I'm pretty sure you really, really should not cancel the check.

It has been three weeks, you sent them the check and can prove that they signed for it (right?), and it is not clear that the tenant will ever get around to cashing it.

Honestly, I would leave it alone until you hear something from the tenant. If and when the tenant cashes the check, you can invoice the tenant then and you can sue the tenant in small claims court if it makes sense to do so.

If the tenant never cashes the check and just forgets about it, then the money will stay in your account and this problem will solve itself.
