Yes, you must maintain a balance. You cannot write checks against money that you don't have; you must have funds in the account to cover your checks or they will 'bounce', and you will be assessed charges. If you do it deliberately your problems will be a great deal worse. This doesn't mean that you are required to do the arithmetic monthly to balance the account; you can be as careful or as careless as you like. Being careless does not exempt you from the consequences.
