Bounced rent checks are a major hassle. Your bank will charge you a fee for a bounced check, and then you will have to spend more time actually collecting the rent from the tenant. Also, by the time you redeposit the bounced check or get a new one from the tenant, the rent is way overdue.
Standard lease remedies often are no help, and it may not be in your best interests to use harsher remedies like terminating the lease and evicting a tenant. And collecting damages from the tenant may not be enough of a deterrent to stop it from being careless and/or bouncing another check.
