What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
My landlord returned half of our security deposit back to me in September. However, I have tried to collect the other half from the landlord to no avail and now I want to sue him in Small Claims. However, I will be out of the country until March 27 and the check he sent me will expire by then, and thus I will not be able to sue him until I get back. Is it ok to cash this check and not affect my rights to sue? The check nor the paper says anything about it being final if I decide the cash the check but I have read on other forums that it is not good to cash the check if I decide to sue.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
