you have the court order allowing you to remove the tenant, right? If so, then the tenant would have to argue that that order is not longer in effect due to you accepting the money. The problem is, you are due the money anyway so this does not affect the eviction.

One caveat; this is past due money, correct? Did they pay the entire amount due?

did the order consider the treble damages when they ordered the amount of money owed to you? If not, I would suggest you are not able to collect the damages until such time a court orders them. A quick read of the statutes does not appear to allow self help in applying the treble damages section.
