    Why has he not cashed it? Is the money in the account?

    He will generally not evict you unless you don't pay rent for more than just one month, either.

    Hello J:

    NO. If he tries it, all you got to do is show the judge that you DID pay. If your landlord doesn't want to cash the check, that's on him.

    Actually there is a caveat here. Its very possible under certain circumstances. First, if the check is not for payment in full of all arrears and late charges, then the landlord does not have accept it. Second, if the tenant has been habitually late, the landlord may be able to proceed with eviction.
