<prompt> Human: Hi PF, I live in CT and my land lord hasnt deposited my rent checks for several months now. Im having a hard time finding anything that says there is a limit to the amount of time he can hold onto them for but its getting incredibly inconvenient to have thousands of extra dollars in my account that I have to keep track of. Is there any sort of action I can take against him or am I just stuck with a lazy landlord? Edit: Thanks for the advice everyone. Im just going to start paying with money orders and be done with it. I appreciate all your input.  <response>: Have you tried contacting your landlord or leasing office about this? If so, what was their response?
