Need some help, I forget to cash a rent cheque, it is over 6 mon

I just found a rent cheque dated Dec 1, 2008 of $950 that I forget to cash. I accidentally mix it with other future dated cheques, so I just found it today.

The problem (maybe small, maybe big problem) is the tenant already moved back to their hometown thousands miles away. They were here finishing master degree study, and I have average relationship with them. They have good credit, but a bit shrewd. The last time I cash their cheque is in Feb 2009.

It is a cheque from Caisse Populaire Desjardins branch in my area. It is a small bank. If I got to the this small bank to certify the cheque, I think I will cause them to realize the cheque is over 6 months and cannot be good (I think cheque over 6 months is technically not good.) I want to certify because not sure if they have funds in the account.

If I pass with my bank, which it probably will take it, but then do you think the cheque will be returned by other bank for over 6 months. And also not sure if there is enough funds.

So forum readers, any suggestion and help, please? I would contact them if there is no solution to cash this cheque. Not now, if I contact them, maybe they intentionally close their bank account because I don't know them that well and that long.

Thanks
