Hello if you have given any cheque to the landlord towards the rent of the premises which you have rented out and the cheque bounces, landlord can file criminal complaint u/s 138 of negotiable act. Terms and conditions of the rent agreement are binding on both tenant and landlord. However if you have given any security cheque to landlord and there is dispute related to accounting you can inform landlord not to misuse and not to present the cheque in bank.
