I have a tenant that has an infestation, in the lease it states the tenant is responsible for pest control. if pest control is not initiated in a timely manner the landlord shall have it performed and it will be billed back to the resident. So I had to have the pest control company come out to treat the unit. The resident was not very cooperative but we finally got it done, she stated should could not pay the full amount but she would pay half with her November rent. She did not pay the bill but she did pay the rent in November. I sent her a notice on November 24, 2016 that December rent would not be accepted with her making a payment on the outstanding balance. She called and stated she could not make a payment on the outstanding balance she was planning on giving me what she could. I told her she needs to make the down payment in order for me to accept December's rent and she could pay the remainder of the balance with her January rent. She did not offer Decembers rent at all nor did she make a payment on the balance. I served her a 3 day for non payment of rent. Will this stand up in court?
