Who is liable for forged endorsement on rent check?

[redleg17]

How do you know that? A bank does not verify that any given signature mimics the one they have on file.

.no support based on your "evidence"

and how do you support such a claim. It could have easily been stolen at the post office or, depending on how the OP mailed it, from his mailbox or it could have been stolen from the LL's mailbox.

Your argument has no merit.

there has been nothing stated that the signature looked anything like the LL's actual signature.

I removed that post after reconsiderig my position but will answer yours:

1. The OP stated that the signatures were similar.

2. Checks paid in that way are mailed directly from the financial institution to the payee.

3. Regardless, I was wrong.....

1. The OP stated that the signatures were similar.

so the person that stole the check knew the payee

2. Checks paid in that way are mailed directly from the financial institution to the payee.

they stole it from his mailbox

3. Regardless, I was wrong...

I know.
