Waiver of Landlord’s Right to Terminate

Acceptance of late or partial rent does not waive a landlord’s right to terminate a lease. The notice must state: “Only FULL PAYMENT of the rent demanded in this notice will waive the landlord’s right to terminate the lease under this notice, unless the landlord agrees in writing to continue the lease in exchange for receiving partial payment.”[5]
