I just found out that my landlord changed the date on the check that I gave her. That check was supposed to be for June rent, I gave her that check on May 11 since I was going on two week vacation (I was afraid I couldnt make it back on time to pay rent). So I backdated the check to May 29, but the cashed it in on the 13th and I just noticed today that she CHANGED the date on that check to say may 20th!!! WTF!!!!
Also on top of this she asked me to pay the electricty and gas bill on top of the water bill. We agreed on me only paying the water bill. Her reasoning was she "forgot" to mention it while we signed the lease.
And recently my tv cable was cut off. I called the cable company and I got a message that the bill is past due. This is not good...
Good thing I am on month to month. My deposit will apply to my last month's rent. I hope she wont pull anything funky. I will leave this place soon. This SUCKS. :|
EDIT:
Ok I just confronted her about why she cashed the check early, and she still didnt fess up on her forging the date. I then told her that I am moving out.
If it becomes ugly (if it turns to lawsuits but I hope it doesnt turn that way), I am compiling all the necessary legal info that I can rely on. Do you guys think I am standing on a strong legal case?
Basically it will be almost my word against her. my only proof is an online copy of the check (here is the pic of it, I whited out all personal info checkproof.JPG). I dont really have a strong evidence on what the original date was, other than the rip out that I have on my checkbook.
So do I have a strong case?
EDIT: Is there a place where I can check public records of the last real estate transaction on my house? I think she bought the house less than a year ago, and it might be that the "teaser" rate just stopped and she cant afford to pay the mortgage payments.
