rent

I had a tenant who broke is lease and skipped out of his rent.  He had written me a check in January but it bounced.  He wrote me out another one and I was able to deposit it.  My question is,  can I cash that other check that bounced.  I did have to go through the eviction process and did file a demand for rent.  I do have his security deposit and could apply that to his rent but he destroyed my property and I want to hold him to his Feb rent and use his security for damages.  I plan on going to small claims court to try to collect two more months of rent.  Can I cash the check?
