<prompt> Human: My wife and I rent a condo from a property manager who has not cashed our rent checks for December or January. His ISP-provided email bounces back, and his phone numbers are not working either. We have been in this condo for one year without any major issues until now. He has always been responsive if a bit slow to repair requests and has always cashed checks on time.Were not sure what to do, except to keep the extra money in checking and wait. We have not ever had contact with the owners of the property, who apparently live out of the country, but we do have their names on the lease agreement.Has anyone ever run into this problem before? Is there anyone we can contact to investigate this?EDIT: Thanks for the responses! I have reached out to the HOA and am awaiting their response. If they dont offer much help, then my next move will be to contact the owner directly I could do this via social media, though we have never spoken before. I will update tomorrow when I hear from HOA.EDIT 2: So far, not much action. We have contacted the HOA, who have not been any help. They do not have contact information for the owners, just the missing property manager, none of which is functional email or phone.Our next step is to reach out to the owners via social media.  <response>: There is a lot of misinformation here in some of the answers.Even if the landlordproperty management company is not cashing the checks, they are still due per your lease agreement. Failure to pay for rentregardless of checks being cashed can lead to an eviction.The landlord didnt cash the checks is not a legal defense for failure to pay rent.If the house you are renting goes into foreclosure, you are still required to pay rent! When the house is sold, the new ownerseven if its the bank, are legally required to honor the existing lease. If there is no lease, they can give you a 90 notice to vacate if they plan on residing there themselves. The Protecting Tenants at Foreclosure Act of 2009 lists the rights people have.
