there are 'technical' vilations of the law in that you cannot draft a check for which you do not have sufficient funds.  your 'oral' agreements with the landlord will not be a defense. you should try to settle with the landlord to avoid civil litigation. the landlord does have the ability to bring a civil action against you. this is not a criminal case. there was no intent to 'defraud' the landlord. the county prosecutor will not pursue the case.  this is a civil case. the landlord can tale you to landlord-tenant court and demand payment. the check will not get you in criminal trouble. ed dimon, esq.

Can the state/police still press charges even if there was no arrest and the other person isn't pressing charges?

You are not supplying enough information. Whether there was an arrest or not does not control. You can be summonsed into the court to be charged. Regarding the "other person", it is not up to civilians to "press charges". People call the police when they feel in danger or they think a crime is being committed. Once the police come and take statements, it is now up to them to determine if "probably cause" exists that a crime has been committed. If they believe that probable cause exists, they will charge a person with the crime. It is now up to the DA to prosecute or drop the charges. Once the call is made, it is too late to recall the police and control the situation.

Will I be in legal trouble if I filed false charges against someone?

Get an attorney. You're walking a delicate position here. If it is really early then police and prosecutors will be more understanding, but you may be facing perjury charges. You goals are really two fold: 1. avoid getting someone in trouble; 2. avoid yourself being that "someone" that is in trouble. You can try to takl to police or prosecutor yourself, but I would absolutely recommend against it.
