Tenant given 3 day notice (nuisance) then paid rent
I recently served a 3 day notice to quit for nuisance due to tenant selling drugs, physical fighting with his significant other, disruptive visitors, etc. I am seeing my attorney in the next few days for an unlawful detainer complaint. When I returned home yesterday, the tenant had put a money order for the rent in an envelope on my door. I read somewhere that you could accept the rent if you advised the tenant that this payment will not preclude you, as the landlord from seeking a legal eviction process.
