After some reflection and research, I'm afraid my using the check to satisfy my claim against the tenant for damages might maybe fall into the definition of embezzlement (using funds entrusted for alternate purpose). Since tenant has a job he's not likely to leave, I filed in court for the damages and I'll just garnish his wages; it's a pity because it will cost him more (costs of the action plus attorney fees, in addition to the actual cost of damages), but so be it!
