Help please- Security Deposit Question

Hello,

I recently evicted my tenants. The judge ruled in my favor. He stated at court that they have to pay back the court fee which comes to $250. Also, they did not pay rent this month so they basically lived there for free for 15 days. I was wondering if by law I am allowed to take what they owe me from their security deposit. So I would prorate their rent for the 15 days($350) and also the $250 they owe me would be taken out. I did some research and it looked like the prorated rent is ok to take out but I'm not sure about the court fee. I have the paperwork from court stating that they owe me.

Thanks.
