My daughter was in rented accomodation and paid her rent monthly by cheque to the landlord. He didn’t cash one cheque and she has now moved to another property. He has found the uncashed cheque and is expecting her to issue another one as the first is out of date. Can he legally do this?

I work Mon Tue Thur Fri, I spend All day Sat and Sun in the apartment I share with my wife plus Friday, and Tuesday Nights. The only reason I rent the second apartment is becuse it is where my job is: 75 miles from the apartment I share with my wife, the only purpose for having the second apartment is for me to be near my job. So can I declare the rent on thesecond apartment a “work Expense” on my taxes?
