So your saying the landlord lost the rent check once a month for the whole time you were there?
Besides this being filed in my far fetched draw and being suckered into responding to this post, I believe you will find the checks are an instrument to promise to pay a debt which you have not paid yet.
A check is a written order directing a bank to pay money, which your bank has not done yet.
As for 'Do I have to pay my rent AGAIN??'
You have not released any funds to the landlord so you cannot say do I have to pay AGAIN because you have never paid before, if you give the landlord the money now it means you have only in theory paid once not AGAIN.

My landlord never cashed any of my rent checks the whole time I rented from him. I moved out 5 years ago, and never received my deposit back either. The landlord told me I'd get it back as soon as he "found and cashed" all my checks. Well, 5 years later, now, he has apparently found them. Of course they are all invalid; a personal check is only good for a year. He has acknowledged that he does have the checks, so I did pay on time, and he now wants me to write him a big check for about $9,000. Do I have to pay my rent AGAIN??
