One thing you can do is write them an email expressing this exact concern. This can help establish that you think they may pull something like this and gives electronic proof that you contacted them about your concern. You can also include as an attachment a picture of the check you are going to send them. By documenting things like this, you gain a lot of credibility if things go to court.
Another method is to wire them the money, or at least offer to wire them the money (in email) and let them refuse. If they refuse a payment method AND claim there was no check and you continuously offer other ways to pay (in email.. or text btw.. or both), then they will have a very hard time winning an eviction case as you can prove you tried everything to get the money to them in a way that provides you with proof and that they refused.
If you take these steps and they understand the law at all, they won't be "finding an empty envelope" in the first place.
