Today, my landlord emailed me, stating that she hasn't been receiving my rent. After some investigation, I found out she's been using the money to buy booze, and hasn't been putting it into the house owner's account. FML

Talk to the homeowner and show up with your paperwork and a lawyer.

Print out your bank statement and talk to a lawyer. If your landlord is cashing your checks then it is theft. Seeing as rent can be a sizable amount, it could even be a high charge of theft.

Most banks provide a picture of the cashed check.

I am a little confused at the wording. I thought the landlord was the house owner. I am from Australia, and with my rental properties, I am considered the landlord (or lady if you prefer). I have a real estate agency collect the rent and deal with any problems, but it's all carefully documented. Most people transfer their rent money electronically, so the OP should be able show that she has been paying her rent. I am given a statement every month showing expenses and what has been paid. If I didn't get that every month I would be chasing it up. Hopefully it's not been too long she has been spending your money.

Report her to the police and sue her. Write a letter to your landlord/homeowner and explain everything.

This is why, if you haven't been paying this way, you pay with money order or check. You can always have proof that way..

I doubt it was $175. Just to give you an idea, a small 2 bed room house in a remote township 2 hours away from a major city is around $860 month ($215 a week). When I was first married 10 years ago, we rented a no frills, 2 bedroom flat for $160 a week. When I was a nursing student, we paid $200 for a room in a dorm per month, and that included utilities.
