The landlord refuses to wait for days beyond rental cheque due date. What to do?

Dear sir/madam,

My rental cheque is due tomorrow and unfortunately, I’m not able to honor it. I asked my landlord to wait a couple of days but he doesn’t want to wait and said that he is going to cash the cheque tomorrow.

Of course, the cheque will bounce, what would be the procedure then?

Do I have a certain amount of days before eviction to pay the rent?

Dear questioner,

The owner should be given a legal warning asking him not to present the cheque and to wait some days to cover the cheque amount.

I asked him to wait and he didn’t want to.

What is the worst-case scenario if he opens a police case?

At the end of the week, I will be able to pay the cheque.

File a legal notice of this and ask him for a deadline.

Dear sir,

There is a time to pay; for around one month or more.

You can try again with the landlord.

Dear sir,

We can help you in this regard.

Further, we need to know the exact reason for delaying the payment. You can make a request to the landlord and give him a post-dated cheque with any extra fine.

Kindly contact us via phone.

Thank You!

The landlord is not willing to wait but someone told me that the RDC is giving 30 days to pay a rental cheque. Is that correct?

What will be the fine?

My rental cheque is 125k.

The rental cheque is for my office.

I am currently selling the company and the new cheque should be paid by the buyer.

We’ll conclude the sale this week.
