Security Deposit, Check Not Cashed

The Chicago Ordinance is very strict as it relates to security deposits for non-owner occupied properties.   Many, request move-in fees instead.

What happens when a check used for the deposit is not cashed? Is that a violation of the ordinance or a trick to avoid getting in trouble with the law.
