Is it Ok to take a partial payment?

[Tony Frasher]

One of my tenants called promptly at the first of the month letting me know that they would be $300 short of rent. She is a traveling nurse and had an issue with her car. She has to have a car or can't make any money, so I understand her dilemma. She's been a great tenant so far, and will have the rest of the rent to me by the 15th.

Does anyone else do this? I see everyone talking about serving papers immediately, but I think she was upfront and addressed the problem before it actually became a problem, so I'm going to be willing to work with her.
