How to avoid legal trouble for bouncing a check for an apartment?
Dear Sir/Madam,
The apartment contract is under my cousin's name, but the cheques I issued are under my name.
Due to losing my job, there is an overdue rent.
The landlord called me and said he will file a case against me because of a bounced cheque.
I just want to know if I will be in trouble for a bounced cheque.
Dear Questioner,
The bounced check was previously punishable by imprisonment and a fine, but after amending the law, there is currently no criminal case in the checks due to a closed account, but the criminal case is in the case of forgery.
The situation is that a civil case is being registered and some procedures are being taken to collect the amount.
If there is a problem or issue regarding bounced checks, or you have had a previous judgment or action against you, it can be canceled.
You can contact us to take the necessary legal procedures.
Dear questioner,
Unfortunately, yes, there are some serious implications for bounced cheques as the landlord can at any time initiate enforcement proceedings against you; including freezing your bank accounts and issuing an arrest warrant.
