<prompt> Human: I got a call yesterday from an employee of my apartment complex claiming that I had not payed my rent for December yet. Luckily I had gotten a copy of the check, which is initialed by the employee I originally gave the rent check to on November 25th. So after showing him the copy of the check he said he would look into it but would call me if I needed to come in and write another one. Should I do that if he asks me too? What if I write a new check and it, along with the original check I wrote, both end up being deposited? As a side note I also got a message today telling me my internet access is denied because of an outstanding charge on my account which is why Im typing this on my phone so I assume they didnt find my original check. P.S. This is my first time submitting here, so if there are any mistakes I apologize. Also, I dont know how to put the housing flair in the title. Edit: Thanks for the help everybody. Im going to do what most of you have suggested and write my apartment a new check as well as cancel the previous one.  <response>: You are so smart to have gotten a copy of the checkevidence that their employee received it!If they cant find it, a reasonable solution is for you to cancel the check, and that they get a new check for the rent amount MINUS the cancel check fee given that its their employees fault. Make sure to get them to agree in writing to the reduced amount before you give them any money.
