    My bank will honor any check less that 9 months old. At my son's bank it's 3 months. So I quess it depends on bank policy.

    They can hold it as long as they want... they may have problem cashing those checks depending on bank's policies, but you are still liable for your rent. If they are likely to be late, you should send money order instead of check. Keep record for your file.
