If you receive money after the court has issued its order, the money would be considered payment on the judgment, not rent. Rent can only be paid prior to judgment. Doesn't matter that the tenant posted it before the judgment, because they only have the 3- or 5-day period to get the delinquent rent in your hands, and you'll be well past that by the time you get to a hearing & judgment. No judge is going to allow a tenant to stay because he says "the check is in the mail".
