Ive done this before. It is not illegal. What normally happens is the payee may go to small claims court, (depending on the amount) and try to sue you for it. That puts the ball in their court, not yours. If you have any kind of case the judge will normally split the bill at minimum.
It may be illegal to stop the check. You really need to check with your state law and the contract details from the rental facility.
It Depends: 1. Yes it is Illegal if - you owe someone money and used the check to pay them for that. If you issue a stop payment the check will not be paid and the person to whom you issued this check can legally sue you for that 2. No it is not Illegal if - you have lost the check and want to ensure that whoever finds it cannot cash it without your approval

THis ain't no question.... why would you stop payment on a check anyway
No. A stop payment can be issued only before the check payment is made by the bank. If you try a stop payment after the bank has paid for the check, the bank wont accept it because the stop payment instruction is useless now and cannot be executed.
In the United States, a stop payment on a check is a request made by the account holder to their bank to not honor a specific check that has been issued. The account holder typically needs to provide specific information about the check, such as the check number and the amount. Stop payment orders are usually subject to a fee and must be made within a specific timeframe before the check is cashed.
Being able to place a stop payment on a cashier's check depends on the bank. If the cashier's check has been lost or stolen the bank may place a stop payment on it.
if you stop payment because the funds are not available then yes it is.
you can place a stop payment on a check right after you write the check if you want to pay the fee
The person who issued the cheque can issue the stop payment on the cheque. As long as the check isn't submitted for payment yet, you can issue the stop payment request. But, if the check is already paid the bank will not accept the stop payment. A point to note is that, the person to whom you gave the check can prosecute you legally for doing so because he wont get paid for the check

So you can stop a check with money on it that you lost.
No. A good for payment is automatically paid to the beneficiary upon the maturity of the check. A bank undertakes the responsibility that it will not stop the payment of the check under any circumstances.
