Your question is unclear.
It depends on whether an unlawful detainer has already been filed. As Mr. Cohen points out, if the answer is affirmative, the U.D. must be refiled. If negative, it depends on the agreement.

If a residential tenant, the answer is "no". Once the landlord accepts a partial payment, the landlord would have to start the eviction process all over.
