My landlord accidentally lost my rent check this month. Said it was sitting on his kitchen table then it wasn't there anymore. Of course, it just so happens that I used the old check that had been sitting in my wallet for years, and I didn't note the number on it (d'oh) and it looks like at this point I won't be able to know the number with any reasonable certainty.
I once read somewhere that if you tell your bank a check or checkbook is missing, then you waive your rights if something happens and you didn't cancel your account at that point.
What I'm trying to figure out is: if someone cashes it (and they're obviously not my landlord), would I be able to get those funds back?
What would the best course of action be at this point? I've waited a week and a half to see if it'll turn up for him (and I sent him a new check in the meantime) so it's looking like it might not resurface at his place.
