Even with the postdated cheques I require a non-refundable deposit. It is there to protect you. If for what ever reason you decide to return a deposit you are allowed to...but the non-refundable deposit may still be needed to protect you at some point.
One thing to consider, unlike collecting rent which is monthly, collecting fees biweekly does mean a greater income on an annual basis. I would strongly suggest switching to biweekly fees. Otherwise, ensure that your monthly fee is representative of the number of days to be worked that month and not just a set fee. I believe you lose the equivalent of 2 full weeks pay by charging a set monthly fee. Long term...it adds up!!
