How long does a landlord have to cash a tenant's rent check?

Is there a minimum amount of time a landlord has to cash a tenant's check? It's been two weeks before my landlord has cashed my monthly's rent. I feel that when I send the check, they should cash it immediately so:


a.) I know they have received it, and


b.) so it's squared away and two month's rent isn't taken out at once.

Most standard bank checks are good for 90 days. There are no laws... nor can you force the landlord to cash the check when you see fit. If you keep a balanced checkbook...it really should not make a difference when he cashes it.
Reply:They have however long the check is good for to cash it.





If your bank honors checks for 6 months, then they have 6 months. If your bank honors checks for a year, then they have a year.





Once you write a check, that amount of money is no longer yours.





Why would you care if 1 month, 2 months, 4 months or whatever are taken out at once? Once you write the check it comes out of your checkbook balance. When the bank finally pays it is not your concern.
Reply:Sometimes landlords wait until they have all the rent checks to go to the back all at once. Just call and see when they will be going. Shouldnt really matter if you balance your checkbook, its money already spent.
Reply:Any time you write a check the person you write it to has 90 days to cash it.
Reply:pay with a money order so there's no doubt about the status of payment!!!
