Payment as Defense

If the landlord files a dispossessory action (eviction suit) against the tenant, the landlord can’t terminate the lease if the tenant pays all rent owed plus legal fees within seven days of receiving the eviction summons.

However, if this is the second dispossessory action filed against the tenant in a 12-month period, the landlord does not have to accept payment as a defense against the eviction. The tenant will still owe any unpaid rent, but they will be forced to vacate the premises if the landlord wins the case.[1]
