Legal aspects of accepting recourse.

[thomaswelsh]

What is the name of your state? Kansas

My roomate and I are involved in a dispute involving a check he stole from me. If I accept payment form him equal to the amount he stole, will that limit my ability to take future legal action agaisnt him? I'm talking to my landlord now about breaking my lease, and it appears that unless I press actual charges against my roomate they will be unwilling to break the lease. (Statute of limitations for the crime is 60 days, and it occured a week ago)

Thank You

p.s. Sorry if I misused the word recourse

My response:

Is this post a continuation of a previous post? If it is, then please go back to your previous post and write the above there. Or, please explain your situation here; e.g., you didn't explain the situation and the connection between the stolen check and breaking the lease.

It would, however, be better for the contributors if you went back to a previous post and wrote the above into that thread.

Thanks,
