[quote=Anonymous]Will try to keep this high-level so as to not make this a really long post.

here is my situation:

-Tenant is/was behind in rent for 2 months - October and November.

-House is in another state.

-We got an attorney involved in mid-October to help recover the outstanding amount and/or get them evicted.  [b]Full disclosure: This is not the first time this tenant has done this and has figured out how to work the system, knowing that eviction takes a while. [/b]  Their lease is up in 8 months, thank GOD!!

-Because we have had checks from this tenant bounce MANY times in the past, we required that rent be paid this time around via certified funds.

-Tenant delivered a cashiers check to our attorney last Wednesday, Nov 30th (6 days ago) and the check was for Oct, Nov and we also asked for December's rent because of the obvious timing of the transaction.

-Attorney promptly put the check it in the mail, via USPS Certified Mail - and this is where the real issue started.

I have the tracking number. Was tracking it all weekend. It was supposed to be delivered to us on Saturday. We know this because Tracking info from USPS said "OUT FOR DELIVERY".

Well, the package with a sizable cashiers check in it was never delivered and I am so angry and frustrated.  It basically stopped moving on Saturday and the last tracking update which was posted at 1am on December 4th says [b]"Delivery status not updated"[/b]

So here it is December 6th. Cashiers Check for 3 months rent is somewhere in the USPS joke of a system.  Technically the rent has been paid as these are certified funds, so its not like I can have the tenant evicted for non-payment at this point.

I am so angry! Angry with the situation in general, with the tenant, with our attorney for using USPS, just angry all around! I don't want to be irrational about this so I am holding off on picking up the phone and handing our attorney his ass but my patience is just about up.  Walk me away from the ledge, calm me down and give me advice on what I should do now.

Please!  :-o  :shock:  :evil:  :? [/quote]
