<prompt> Human: Hello PF!I wrote my rent check for 2950, but the 9 wasnt fully closed and the cashier at my landlords bank wrote a 4. The amount written was Twenty-Nine Hundred and fifty.She caught the mistake yesterday, and wants to discuss a resolution. Our lease is also up at the end of the month. It is my understanding that when the number is not legible, it s the written amount that is important. I believe that the resolution is that she needs to go to her bank and discuss the issue. Secondly, I assume that it would be absolutely a poor idea to write a second check for 500. Finally, I assume that she is not allowed to take this 500 out of our security deposit. My apartment is in Brooklyn, NY. Thanks!  <response>: The landlord can call their bank and get this cleared up in 30 seconds.
