Waiver of Landlord’s Right to Terminate

If the tenant pays the full amount of rent due for the rental period in which they are in arrears, the lease may not be terminated. However, the landlord’s acceptance of partial rent does not constitute a waiver of their right to terminate the lease for nonpayment.[1]
