There is nothing that prohibits that refusal - the tenant can always go get a cashier's check. Some landlords will refuse personal checks if the tenant has bounced checks in the past. Also, some landlords will insist on only taking cash, then refuse to give a receipt. Only an idiot would pay cash and not get a receipt.
