How to reject partial rent payment - was deposited to bank [GA]
This is for a property located in east point, GA.
We have a tenant that made partial deposit of cash into our bank account on the 5th of the month. (rent is due on the 1st).
We already gave the tenant 60 days notice since we need the house back and the lease is month to month.
What is the best way to proceed here? We do not want the partial payment but the money was deposited directly into the account. Is it possible to send the money back to the tenant (we will be sending the money back on the 12th)?
If we wait until next month, how can we deal/prevent with this situation?
Thank you, Jorge
