Disagree on all accounts. The renter owes a debt.. that debt can get passed onto a collection agency, which can then send information onto the credit reporting bureaus.. Youre doing future landlords a service by indicating that their new applicant is a deadbeat. Accepting partial payment resets most notices to pay or quit. Landlords always lose in the long run from tenants that regularly give small payments. There is nothing preventing the landlord from tacking the notice and sending a demand letter indicating the total amount due at the time .. which would include past due rents, late fees .. and queueing up for the eviction processes.. there is also nothing preventing owners from calling employers (should there be one) and advising that a garnishment will shortly be in the works.. If it ever gets to court, attorneys fees, if any, will also be attached to the judgment that accompanies the eviction.
