If the landlord has accepted and negotiated the rent check, that voids the unlawful detainer. You can go to trial and show the court that he cashed your check. The case should be dismissed. To save everyone time and effort, you might telephone the landlord's attorney and advise the attorney of that fact. But make sure you're all caught up before doing so.
