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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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

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..

how does one go through 750 a month in booze, maybe at bar.

Maybe its not 750, i pay 175 a month for my place

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.
