I won the eviction case. But the Tennat can pay. Options?

*Tenant  Spellcheck is a blessing

I have a 4 unit building full of tenants I inherited.  One Tenant is in her late 50s and often pays 15 day late.  But all ways paid.  

This September she slipped up and failed to pay. She promised to pay next month by the 14th.  I did not want to risk it so we filed for eviction and won the case.  On the 10th of this month I can file for writ of possession.  Recovering the lost rents is not likely.  Now she has all the unpaid rents due plus court cost.  

I do not like the Ideal of starting the eviction and the going back on it.  However keeping the rental income is Ideal.  After all, I am here to make money, not parent people. I though about offering her these terms.  And if she fails I will proceed with the writ.  Advice?

"The Landlord has elected, at his option, to not file for writ of possession if the following conditions are meet.

1)All moneys due are received before November 10th 2018 by 5:00 pm.

2)Payment of rent in the month of December is due on the 1st and must be received by December 5th 2018 by 5:00 pm.

MONIES REVIVED IN NO WAY IMPAIRS OR LIMITS ANY OF THE OTHER REMEDIES OR RIGHTS THAT THE LANDLORD MAY HAVE UNDER THE LEASE OR UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF ALABAMA"
