29 notice, not less than 5 days after service thereof, the lease

2 maintain ejectment without further notice or demand. A claim

5 proceeding brought, in an action of forcible entry and
6 detainer for the possession of the leased premises, under
7 this Section.
8 Notice made pursuant to this Section shall, as
9 hereinafter stated, not be invalidated by payments of past
10 due rent demanded in the notice, when the payments do not, at
11 the end of the notice period, total the amount demanded in
12 the notice. The landlord may, however, agree in writing to
13 continue the lease in exchange for receiving partial payment.
14 To prevent invalidation, the notice must prominently state:
15 "Only FULL PAYMENT of the rent demanded in this notice
16 will waive the landlord's right to terminate the lease under
17 this notice, unless the landlord agrees in writing to
18 continue the lease in exchange for receiving partial
19 payment."
20 Collection by the landlord of past rent due after the
21 filing of a suit for possession or ejectment pursuant to
22 failure of the tenant to pay the rent demanded in the notice
23 shall not invalidate the suit.
24 If additional rent accrues after the complaint is filed,
25 the plaintiff may amend the claim for rent in the complaint
26 at any time before the entry of judgment, without further
27 notice to the defendant.
