International lawyer Akhmed Djaber stated that the tenant has the right to offer the lessor checks issued by third parties for the payment of the lease fee. This is considered common practice in leasing relationships. For instance, the tenant may present checks written by his employer, who assists him or takes on the obligation to pay the lease. Also, one of the guarantors may provide checks for payment in the name of their partner.
In the case of the return of unpaid checks, the question arises as to who signed these checks. Legal aspects in this situation depend on the reason for the return of the checks. If the reason lies in the absence of funds in the account or a closed bank account, it is possible to use the simplified form of the check and address the individual who issued the check.
If the reason for the return of checks is non-sufficiency of signatures or the formatting of checks in such a way that they cannot be considered valid, it is possible in this case to address criminal liability against the individual who issued the check. However, lawyers cannot accuse a person who issued the check in instances of non-fulfillment of obligations according to the lease agreement, except for the amounts specified in the checks. Regarding matters not related to the amounts indicated in the checks, a tenant's request may arise, for example, for fines that the lessor takes from the tenant for the return of unpaid checks.
