rent checks never cashed (Real Estate & Property Law)

Mon, 24 Apr 2000 09:54:00 GMT

I have been living in an apartment for almost 3 years and have sent my rent check on time every month. The landlady has never cashed any of the checks (over $20,000) and when asked about it, she states that she just hasn't had time to get to the bank. Recently I have taken a new job and need to relocate and am concerned about whatI am responsible for. Are the past checks still valid? I am responsible for the whole amount of money?
