[WSBARP] 3 day notice to pay or vacate - does a landlord have to decline partial payment?

[jeremy at basalt.legal]

Landlord can both accept partial payment and continue to move forward. Any order should reflect the partial payment. Always take the money!

Subject: [WSBARP] 3 day notice to pay or vacate - does a landlord have to decline partial payment?

 

Question that came across my desk today - 

 

If a landlord properly serves a 3 day notice to pay or vacate on a tenant that specifically states that "partial payment will not be acceptable" and the tenant deposits a partial payment into the landlord's account - does the landlord have to reject the payment to move forward on the 3 day or serve another 3 day for the remaining balance? Or, can the landlord continue to move forward since the amount demanded was not paid? 

 

Just curious what everyone here thought.
