Q: I deposited a check into my account that was not honored by my landlord’s bank. That was in May. When do I get my money?
Clackamas Housing Authority is my landlord. Check was for relocation which has already been completed at my expense.
A: Not clear why your landlord was paying you relocation money in May if you are still there, nor the reason the check bounced - one would presume that it was not for insufficient funds if the landlord was the Clackamas Housing Authority. It sounds as if the Housing Authority, for whatever reason, decided you were not entitled to the payment and stopped it, as well as has refused to re-issue the funds. So everything depends upon why - and you haven't said. IF there is no justifiable reason and the funds are truly owed to you, you likely have claims for damages against the Housing Authority. Consider reviewing everything with a local landlord-tenant attorney to determine if you have any claims and if so, exactly what. Good luck.
