<prompt> Human: As a favor, my landlord says they will not cash check until friday, when my money arrives. I dont have any physical checks. I called my bank and they said itll cost me 55 to have checks expedited. If I dont give the landlord the check, Ill be hit with a costly late penalty. Do I have any other options?  <response>: Dont ever write a check if you know the funds arent in your account, even if the landlord promises they wont cash it. Writing hot checks is a crime and could get you arrested.
