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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my roommate and I received a non-payment notice from our landlord, over a dishonored check that was used to pay the rent. I give my roommate money for my share and she handles the checks. Apparently, her trip to Puerto Rico was more important than paying rent. FML
Today, a week after spending most of my paycheck on a down-payment and rent on a new apartment, I found out the "landlord" I paid was a scammer. Turns out the real owner was away on vacation, and he'd stolen most of her stuff before showing me the place. FML
Today, I found out, through Facebook, that my landlord hadn't been paying the mortgage on the house I'm renting from him. It's going into foreclosure. FML
Today, I found out my last roommate had been stacking her empty wine bottles under the sink for the last 5 months. The cleaning lady who found them now thinks I'm an alcoholic, and threatened to report me to my landlord. FML
Today, my landlord came and beat on my door demanding the rent check. I just got home from a trip and my wife was supposed to pay it while I was away. What happened to the money? Black Friday. FML
Today, I found out that my girlfriend has been paying her half of the rent by taking my ATM card and getting money from my account. FML
Today, I found out my roommates spent my rent money and told the landlord I never paid. I've paid my rent and theirs the past six months. My name's on the lease. FML
Today, my landlord informed me that from now on, she'd prefer if I paid my rent in cash each month. Apparently, I "look sketchy" and she didn't "ever want to deal with the hassle of a bounced check." FML
Today, I found out that just because my roommate doesn't buy alcohol, it doesn't mean she isn't stealing mine and slowly replacing it with water. That bottle cost me $150 and was destined to be a present for my best friend, whom I haven't seen in years. FML
Today, I rented a house for 5 years with my girlfriend, only to find out she is the actual owner. FML

This probably wouldn't happen if you paid with a check/money order vs cash.

Nowhere does it say that the OP was paying in cash. And if he/she was, there's no way they'd have been able to track where the money was going. Since they were, it stands to reason that they were paying either by check or direct funds transfer.

Time to take her ass to court and find you a better replacement!

Get her fired! That's against the law. Hope you get all your money returned to you

You do have receipts, right? If so FYL for having to waste the time and energy to deal with this mess. If you don't, YDI. Always get a receipt for anything over fifty bucks.

And if they ever get sick of you, they just claim you owe back rent, post an eviction notice, and you have 30 days to find somewhere else to live.

OP, please file a complaint towards her. In fact, I'm sure I will make sure she falls down her stairs, in her own house.
