An eviction right in your lease is invaluable if things go south with a tenant who fails to pay rent, but you could undo what might’ve been a hard-won right for you in negotiations if you accept some, but not all, of the overdue rent even after you’ve started the eviction proceeding. That’s because, 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 doing so.
