If you have a tenant that fails to pay its rent, you may decide to send it an eviction notice so that you can kick it out of its space—and even start the eviction proceeding. But if the tenant pays you some—but not all—of its overdue rent after getting your eviction notice (and after you’ve started the eviction proceeding), there might be an unexpected problem. If your lease doesn’t say whether you can continue to evict the tenant after accepting its partial payment, a court might decide to bar you from evicting the tenant.
