Payment arrangements with tenant are perfectly acceptable, but should always be in writing and be signed and dated by the tenants, should set out the exact dates and amounts of the payments, should state that if a payment is missed or late that the entire amount becomes due and owing, and should state that a missed or late payment can lead to an eviction.
If the payment is late or missed, and you want to begin an eviction, you will still have to serve a proper notice (3-day for rent or 10-day for all other charges) before you can begin the eviction. If you make a payment arrangement with a tenant after an eviction has been started, inform the attorney before accepting any money and we will prepare and have the tenant sign a stipulation setting out the specifics of the arrangement and the consequences of failing to comply.
