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

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

Sounds like something my property manager would do.

Well, in Aus you gotta be putting the amount straight into the house rent account, why the **** was OP giving cash to the landlord and not keeping any receipt/proof. I would say YDI .

Tell me you aren't stupid enough to be paying your rent in cash. ALWAYS leave a paper trail!

It didn't say anywhere that OP was using cash or that there were no receipts. It just said that the landlord wasn't putting the money into the owner's account. And I don't think anyone deserves a lying, drunken, jerk for a landlord.

That is why I always paid via online bank transfer. That way if they accuse you of not paying it, you have proof, I have never paid cash or gone to the bank to do a direct deposit. You can always get a receipt, but not proof of what its for, with bank transfers you can add a note or reference to it. Years ago when we had our first baby the landlord accused us of not paying rent, she gave us an eviction notice (we are in Australia and she didn't provide proof of this or follow the law) when I was in hospital and just had the baby. I had to ask my father inlaw to give her a printout of the payment from our account. This was the same b*tch that said she wasn't replacing the toilet that was badly cracked(she was told to replace it by HER plumber) and told us to do smaller poo's for it to work, we reported her when we moved to relevant authorities. OP I hope you can prove you paid, otherwise its an expensive lesson for you. BTW you should try and get her to admit she lied on email, you can use this as proof in court, I have done this and it has worked.

Always get a receipt. If she won't give you one, use money orders or get the cancelled checks from your bank.
