So I recieved a large deposit check on the rent-to-own of a house in the amount of $3900, and proceeded to spend hundreds of dollars to move out of the house into a new home (ALL IN 3 DAYS! IT WAS STRESSFUL TO THE MAX), and everything was going along smoothly when suddenly I didn't hear from the new tenants, who I had had remarkably good communication with the whole time, and was bending over backwards for (literally staying up all night to do paint touch-ups on the interior of the home). I was given only 3 days notice, and had to basically evict my roommate (fortunately she is a friend) and reimburse her for the remainder of the month's rent. So now I'm out around $4400 from where I THOUGHT I was, and $500 of my own money. Do I have a case to take to court?? Can I cash the check at my bank to treat it as a NSF and pursue criminal charges?? Please help me!
