Acceptance of Partial Payment by Landlords
Scenario #1 – Notice to Quit (Termination of Tenancy)
EX: Larry Landlord sends Tina Tenant a Notice to Quit / Termination of Tenancy on March 7th, 2020. This notice states that Tina’s tenancy is being terminated and Tina must vacate the premises no later than April 8, 2020.
Scenario #2 – Demand for Possession for Non-Payment of Rent
EX: Larry Landlord sends a Demand for Possession for Non-Payment on October 1st for back rent (say for August, September, and October). If Larry Landlord accepted partial payments covering only August rent, but not September or October, you could still proceed to court based on the October 1st Demand.
Scenario #3 – Complaint filed for Termination of Tenancy
Scenario #4 – Complaint filed for Non-Payment of Rent
EX: Larry Landlord files a summons and complaint for non-payment of rent alleging Tina Tenant owes September and October rent; the scheduled court hearing is on November 15th. On November 7th Tina Tenant pays Larry Landlord September and October rent in full. Larry Landlord can still pursue his case for November’s rent and any court costs even though November’s rent was not due when the demand was sent nor was it due when the Complaint was filed.
