Check Lost in Mail? Here’s what to do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Were you waiting for a rent check in the mail from your tenant<\/a>? You contact your tenant and they say that the rent check was sent. You are facing the dreaded ‘Rent Check Lost in the Mail’ issue<\/a>. Never fear, we are here to walk you through what to do next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Long Has the Rent Check Been Lost in the Mail?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, learn when the rent check was mailed. Unfortunately, the US Postal Service is not always prompt<\/a>. Mail sometimes does take longer than usual to get to you. If the rent check is within a few days of when you normally would receive it, you might want to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cancel and Resend<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When too much time has passed, the safest thing to do is to cancel the missing check. Have the tenant contact their bank and cancel the check. Be aware that banks often charge a small fee to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, have the tenant resend a new check to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consider Online Rent Payment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Why not remove the stress and time spent dealing with lost or delayed rent checks? With online rent payment services like ClearNow<\/a>, once your tenants are setup, rent payment is made automatically. Whether you’re out of town, or the post office is unreliable, rent appears in your bank account – no more rent check lost in the mail.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
