If you’re in the US, go to the UPS store near you. Have them notarize a statement that the check is in the envelope. Send it so it requires a signature on receipt. They can do all this in the store.

Alternatively… open a separate checking account. Use it solely for rent checks. Deposit your rent in it each month. Write a normal check and send it via normal post. If the management company is cashing them, you’ll have a clear singular record. If they try to pull something shady, you have two important things;

  1. The money they are owed.
  2. Proof that you acted in good faith to pay your rent.

That would likely be enough to stop eviction proceedings in their tracks.

Also proof that the new owner/landlord is acting suspiciously enough that all this extra work is warranted.
