How to settle bounced rental cheques issue
Today I was called by the police, telling me that an agent where I rented a holiday apartment for 4 months complained about 2 bouncing cheques for January, February.
I paid for January by cash at the time but never got my cheque back. The check got a signature irregular, put willing to pay that straight away.
What are my rights and what can I do?
Hi,
The police have obviously called you to report to the police station because of the two bounced cheques.
You state that you have paid the amount of the first cheque in cash, but do you have a receipt from the landlord for such payment? Moreover, the second cheque clearly also needs to be paid since it is now become due.
The best thing to do is to settle with the landlord directly and have him return the cheques and withdraw the police complaint.
