My aunt has been renting a single family home in Newton, Mass for over two years. She initially signed the lease for one year and has since gone month-to-month. The landlord cashed the deposit and a few rent checks initially, but has not deposited over 24 months worth of rent since then.
My aunt works in finance and is aware that that money is not technically hers, and has kept it all in het checking account, so there is no concern about not paying the back rent.
What are her options as a tenant if she decides to move? The landlord is obviously very hands off and we are wondering what responsibilities my aunt will have for any stale checks over 6 months old.
