Is there anything I can do, either criminally or civilly if tenants stopped their rent check?

Due to hurricane Sandy my tenants demanded displacement money. I agreed to pro rate the rent for the days that they were out. Later I learned that they received displacement money from FEMA. After that, I asked them to leave. The rental agreement was up in March. They wanted to leave ASAP so I told them there will be no problem. Due to Hurricane Sandy I was unable to get to the bank to deposit their check until Nov 20. They moved on Nov. 25. I gave the check for the days in Nov. Two days later I learned that they stopped their rent check.
