Definitely NOT - this is bad advice. If you set a precedent of taking partial rent and allowing the tenant to stay, it becomes difficult to evict later. You lose credibility in court.

Actually not, the pay or quit says it is not acceptable.

This is an old cliche but a bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.

If you accept the money, that pushes back any time frame for getting this tenant out of your place. I totally disagree with Annie's solution!!!

The correct answer appears to be state-specific. In my state, we are allowed to take partial payments and still proceed to eviction without delay. Bird in the hand theory. OP needs advice from Gail or another GA LL on this one.
