Being IN FRONT of Eviction Judge with PANTS UP!!!!
We All KNOW, do NOT take partial payments... for just this SCENARIO... eviction judge may THROW OUT your case for having a pattern of taking partial rent....
Well, I'm taking a client on, in the middle of Trying eviction... who's been TAKING PARTIAL payments.... FOR MONTHS......
Should they STOP accepting partial payments now?? and evict from there???

If a tenant offers money, take it. If it's not enough to cover the rent (partial payment), then serve a pay rent or quit notice on the difference. However, once an eviction is underway and has been filed in court, don't accept any more of the tenant's money until after a court judgement has been made. Be very clear about your intent by putting everything in writing. Consult with an attorney to make sure you follow what's required in your jurisdiction, as it can vary from one locale to another.
