Notice to pay or vacate

[Linda Thomas]

Hello BP,

Tenant is late on rent as usual, he has not paid Sept rent, and we decided that it was about time to do something as we let it slide way too many times. (I am learning a lot from you all so thanks for that!) On 9/17 we sent a notice to pay or quit giving 10 days to pay or vacate or we would start the eviction process at the MDJ - yesterday the tenant sent me 1/3 of the amount due via VENMO - I am looking for advice on how to proceed with this? I'm hoping he pays the rest before the 10 days are up and starts making payments on time. Looking for advice should I refund the 1/3 he paid? or?
