A: In many cases, if you receive a 28-day notice terminating your tenancy due to non-payment of rent and you subsequently pay the back rent owed before the notice period expires, you may be able to prevent the termination of your tenancy and continue to stay in the premises. Paying the back rent typically resolves the issue of non-payment that led to the notice being served.
