When a rent check<\/strong><\/span> bounces, the bank charges me a fee. I<\/em> didn\u2019t bounce the check. Am I supposed to ask the tenant beforehand, \u201cIs your check good or is it tissue paper?\u201d<\/p>\n Eve, a tenant, ran a beauty parlor and was a chronic check-bouncer. She screamed at me: \u201cMy freaking check is good! Why don\u2019t you put it in! I hand-delivered it to the manager yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe bank charges me<\/em>!\u201d I said. \u201cI just called the bank. The teller said it was no good.\u201d<\/p>\n Eve was at the bank. The check was good now, she claimed. And I had just gone to city hall and filed an eviction on her for $100.<\/p>\n I said, \u201cOK, I\u2019ll put the check in if it\u2019s good.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe check<\/strong><\/span> is <\/em>good!\u201d she said. \u201cI pay my rent and I intend to pay it until the end of my lease, at which point I\u2019m out of here. And you haven\u2019t fixed the back screen door.\u201d<\/p>\n I said, “I\u2019m evil, I know that. You don\u2019t like me, and I don\u2019t like you.\u201d I hung up and called the bank.\u00a0 The check was good.<\/p>\n Peace and love.<\/p>\n — When a rent check bounces, the bank charges me a fee.
