(d) If a tenant, or another person or entity on behalf of a tenant, pays all rent due under the terms of the lease after the landlord has initiated an action for nonpayment or late payment of rent against the tenant, then the landlord may not maintain that action based upon such failure to pay past due rent. The landlord may not refuse to accept rental payments by or on behalf of a tenant. The landlord may restrict the method of payment as follows:

(1) Prior to a judgment being entered against the tenant, the landlord may restrict the method of any payments to those accepted under the terms of the lease.

(2) Once a judgment has been entered against the tenant, the landlord may require payment be made by either certified check or money order.70 Del. Laws, c. 513,
