A: When they told you they lost your check, you should have gone to your bank and placed a stop payment order. Then, you should have issued them a new check for your rent. However, If you already paid them and they still are alleging that you owe then money I would call management and ask for a meeting with the manager to discuss this matter before it gets out of hand. Best of luck.
