Bizzare situation with wanna be tenant

Cliffs:

Passed all my screening methods.  

Give me 800$ cashiers check to hold house until Security deposit and first months rent is available.  

Each time she attempts to cut me a cashiers check for the sec/dep+1 month rent she tells me the bank tells her it's not available yet. (the source of that money is a closed out IRA supposedly)

Show me bank statement that shows it's in her account but not available. 

She gave me another 200 personal check at the same time she gave me the cashiers check because I told her I wanted 1000$ to hold the house until her funds cleared. 

The personal check for 200 bounced!!  

Also, stupid me, I took a check for the app fee for 50$, that bounced also!!

Past landlord said she was model tenant and sorry to see her go. 

I don't get it.  We've tried to schedule the closing 3 times and each time she has showed up with an excuse as to why her credit union has not released the funds yet. 

But she gave me a 800$ cashiers check????  It cashed not problem.  

Am i obligated to give her any of that cashiers check back since i am probably going to be turning her down due to all this drama and wasted time?
