Roderick's rent is due on his apartment. Unfortunately, Roderick has lost his job and is short on cash. The good news is he has a better paying job starting in two weeks
Roderick does not want to be evicted from the apartment so he mails a check for the rent to the landlord. Roderick knows he does not have enough money in the account to cover the check but figures that by the time the landlord shows up at his door demanding cash, he will have a new job and sufficient funds to pay the rent. At this point Roderick has committed:
A) forgery because he is trying to defraud the landlord by using a worthless check.
B) theft as he is stealing use of the apartment when he does not pay rent in a timely manner.
C) no criminal offense.
D) issuance of bad check because he knows he lacks the funds to cover the check.
