Should landlords issue a receipt for partial rent payments?
Yes, and it is important that the receipt clearly state it is a partial payment with the remaining balance due. Accepting a partial payment without a clear receipt creates disputes over whether the landlord waived the remaining rent or accepted a reduced amount as settlement. The partial payment receipt protects both parties: the tenant has proof of what was paid and when, and the landlord has documentation that they acknowledged only a partial payment and have a stated balance due date. Some landlords include a note on the receipt that acceptance of partial payment does not waive any rights under the lease.
Does accepting a partial rent payment waive the landlord's right to evict for non-payment?
In most states, accepting a partial rent payment without reservation does not automatically waive the landlord's right to pursue the balance or initiate eviction proceedings. However, some states require that a landlord issue a new notice to pay or quit after accepting a partial payment before proceeding with eviction. The safest practice is to note on the receipt that this is a partial payment, state the balance due date, and include a statement that acceptance does not waive any lease rights. Consult state landlord-tenant law before accepting partial payments from a tenant with whom you anticipate an eviction proceeding.
