Thank you I will apply the March rent to the 60 late fee. I am in Iowa , I was confused if I can do an eviction for a $60 partial March rent. I though if I accept any partial amount court will dismiss the case.

If you are going to try to take a late fee for Feb rent, out of March's rent, you need to inform the T ASAP, in WRITING, by certified and regular mails, and hand-delivering a copy, that you are going to do that.
When rent is due, and a LL accepts a partial rent amount, they can give a 3 day notice for the remaining rent amount. THEN, if the LL accepts another partial rent amount, they must give out another 3 day notice for that smaller remaining amount. The best way to handle this, is never accept any amount except the amount you had written down on your 3 day notice. And then you must be fully prepared, and willing to go the full eviction route in court.
