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

[Douglas W. Scott]

If the landlord accepts the payment in any way they have to start over taking that payment into consideration .

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.
