Tenant wants to send partial past due rent

I have a tenant that has damaged one of my units and is extremely behind in rent, my plan is to have the tenant evicted. Today the co-signer of the unit reached out to me to pay a portion of the rent.

My question is should I accept anything if my plan is to have the tenant evicted?

TIA

 NO.  The fact that you asked this question tells me that you need to let a property manager manage your properties.  Never accept partial rent.


You don't know near enough info to make this statement. If this person has one or two properties  there is most likely no way they need a PM. The fact that he is asking this shows he is doing research. 
Property managers are vastly over rated considering most of us on here have more experience and can offer better advice for .....free.
