That part never made it into law. What did make it was;

New Law- Judges are now NOT to dismiss cases because a 3-day notice is defective. The resident MUST place the rent money into the court registry prior to objecting to notice deficiencies, and if there is a defect in the notice, management now legally has the ability to cure the defect in the notice, serve a new one, or file an amended pleading rather than have the case dismissed.

New Law – It is now clear that management can accept a partial rent payment and also proceed with an eviction that same month if management does one of 3 things:
(1) Give the resident a receipt for the partial rent accepted, OR
(2) Place the amount of the partial rent into the Court Registry if an eviction is filed, OR
(3) post a new 3-day notice.
