Apparently, the landlord doesnt think so.
He sent an e back that reads I must pay the amount in full.
Tell him you need his personal assurance, in writing, that if the second check ends up forwarded to him, that it will not be cashed, and will be mailed back to you. Tell him you refuse to risk having insufficient funds in your account because of his mismanagement of his billing, and if the second check is cashed, he will need to deduct any and fees you incur for bounced checks, from your next month's rent.
He moved, without having the post office forward his mail, or giving you his new address. You have no reason to believe he won't be stupid again.

Allyson, is there a tenants' union you can contact about this? Because between this and the whole toxic leaking roof thing, I think you should talk to a renters' advice group before paying the extra charge.
I have the new rug down! Yay! I'm very sweaty. And I didn't really clean off the table, so it still looks all cluttered and insane. But no more deteriorating rice mats. God, they created so much litter.
Now I have to strategically move buckets of catlitter about to get it to fully flatten.
The laundry room clean-up only took about an hour, and that includes the balancing act of getting the washer & dryer (which both work fine) up on 2x4s so that the floor underneath can dry. Thanks for the well-wishes!
Having dealt with shitheel landlords before, I wish you all the best, Allyson, and hope you can restrain yourself from beating the shit out of him. I will say that I took one to small claims court after moving out and beat him fair-and-square when he began embellishing details about the state of the house and I produced photos that demonstrated to the judge that his testimony was a lie.
Allyson, what the fair people said.
That's such BS, Allyson. It's clearly his fault. I think you were quite gracious only asking for the measly $20 credit. Who the fuck doesn't forward their mail?
People on the lam, that's who.
I have finally hung a bracket with the sihouette of a quail, hung a candle from it, framed and hung 2 pieces of art, found a place for the gorgeous hanukah candles (in a v-shaped hanging glass vase) and windexed the table top. I feel virtuous. I still need to go gather random pictures from frames and rehome some of them, but I need albums for that. Tomorrow. And tomorrow I figure out how to hand a secondary curtain rod to hand all my baubles from. And if I find a craft shop, more glass and a way to put a gorgeous peruvian quilted thing behind glass.
And while I'm thinking of it, Target has flipflops again. $8. Now why flipflops and bathing suits are appearing in the usually-coldest month, after disappearing way back in early early fall, well, I'll blame someone as soon as I can find them.
Did I tell you guys I'm in a documentary about The Bronze?
