The court also found that the plaintiffs had made only a partial payment of rent sometime before April 8, 2005. After the close of business on April 8, 2005, the plaintiffs sought to pay the balance of their rent using a “ ‘secure drop’ ” presumably maintained by the defendant. The defendant did not receive the payment until April 11, 2005. By then, the rent was late and not in the proper form of payment. The plaintiffs did not tender payment in the proper form until after the close of business on April 11, 2005. The bank check was dated April 12,2005. The court found that the plaintiffs’ failure to pay their rent before the tenth of the month constituted a breach of the lease. Due to the breach, the defendant had every right, under the lease, to serve the notice to quit and to file the summary process action. Paragraph 17 (c) of the lease provides that in the event of a default by the tenant, the tenant agrees to pay the landlord “all costs and fees, including attorney’s fees, litigation and collection costs” that the defendant incurs in the enforcement of its rights.
