To answer the question simply, yes your landlord can do that. Some sound legal advice would be to pay your landlord immediately, once it goes to court it will be really expensive.

First of all, I’m sorry about the Identity theft. That can really make things not fun. However, after looking at it from a Landlords point of view; I can understand why management is responding like that. Although, it obviously wasn’t your fault that your rent check bounced– you are the one that should be bending over backwards to see that the landlord gets their rent money. If I understand correctly, its now the 23 of August and you still haven’t been able to pay for this months rent… I would suggest that you personally deliver the rent today with nothing less than a money order. I would alos suggest you apologize to the manager for the problem with this months rent, and explain that it won’t happen again. As for the repair items you listed– those items have little to do with the eviction problem. The legal agreement is that rent would be paid by a certain date, if that hasn’t been done, regardless of the reason– you would be the one that breached the agreement. You have proven that your personal checks are not good, so now you should do whatever it takes to pay with certified funds.
