It may well be that a person who isn't able to pay other bills will still want to pay his or her rent. Having a place to live is more important than most other expenses. As a landlord you might not to accept his or her personal checks, but you could ask to be paid either in cash or by money order. But obviously, there is some disadvantage to renting to someone with such shaky finances. You would have to decide whether this person seems to be a desirable or undesirable tenant in terms of other factors than money. If other factors are favorable, you could give him or her a chance as a renter.
