When a landlord agrees to rent to a person, the day that rent payments are due should be made clear.
Rent is overdue if the full amount is not paid by 12 p.m. midnight on the day it is due.
A landlord does not have to accept partial payment of rent, unless they want to. For more information read the following pamphlets from the Landlord Tenant Board
If you have further questions call the Landlord Tenant Board Toll Free Information Line at 1-888-332-3234 during business hours.
If partial payment is accepted, the landlord can still take steps to collect the balance of the rent, including terminating the tenancy.
