Eviction: Tenant can void with partial ACH payment - advice?

[Isaak Brown]

Tenant is just receiving Summons and Complaint, now has 5 days to respond to Unlawful Detainer Complaint for nonpayment of rent. 

In California, if the landlord accepts any rent during the eviction process, the eviction process is voided. Previously, my tenant has paid me by depositing directly into my account or using Chase QuickPay, also direct to account.

Should I close the account (an inconvenience for other tenants, but guarantee no rent deposited)?

Alternately, would you recommend I allow her to void the eviction if she pays what she owes, which she claims she will do on the 1st (but has not when she promised to pay on the 6th and 15th)?

This is why auto payment isn't always the best route unless you have separate accounts for each property.
