A former tenant bounced a rent check in 12/08. I just learned this from a creditor I had deposited the chk with. What do I do?

The secretary of state will the information on the Partners and who is responsible for the partnership. You should contact a lawyer who can help you go after them.

My standard disclaimer: I am not offering legal advice, assume I do
not know the law in your state or at all for that matter and that I am
just making suggestions for starting points for when you do speak with
an attorney. Do NOT rely on anything I write and contact a lawyer in
your area immediately after reading my posting.

I agree with my collegue, check with the Secretary of State regarding the partners, and the formal address of the partnership. The bank will have access to the information on the account, and the police can access the information after you file a complaint. The post office may also have a forwarding address if you check with them.

Since the facts of each case are different, it is critical for you to consult with qualified counsel with whom information can be shared and assessed under an attorney-client privilege, so that competent advice can be obtained on which you can make informed decisions.
