The 3 day notice has been more than 3 days and I did not receive an "unlawful detainer" yet, btw. But I also don't have my money, and the Post Office says I won't for 60-90 days... supposing the investigation turns up that it was NOT cashed.
BTW, the courthouse in the county said to ignore it, for now, unless I get an unlawful detainer, which I must respond to by law (or be evicted). I went to the "FREE HELP," but they didn't help with the money order issue. They appeared to have never seen this before.
Unless there was a letter explaining this (which I did not receive!) I don't get why the $835 is incorrect, except to attempt eviction by 3 day notice.
My monthly rent is $835. The new requested amount is up to the 15th of the month (never paid this way before, was always monthly) and is $404... makes no sense. Also my contract is on a monthly basis... so this also doesn't make sense.

Here is the letter I received, and on the second page they attached with a staple the voided money order, with VOID in sharpie marker across the front.

It's important to note that the owner of the Rental Company is the one that signed the letter and stated "HE" voided the money order, implying it was him. He didn't seem to see a problem with this in the letter with the returned voided money order.
What is the name of your state? California
My Landlord returned my rent payment, which was paid BEFORE the due date, with a VOID marked through the U.S. Postal Service Money Order. He returned it in the mail with a statement that said I had OVERPAID- with no notification of adjustment of the...
