A review of our case law reveals that before the 1986 enactment of the Residential Landlord and Tenant Act we held consistently that a landlord is under a duty to refrain from accepting rent from a tenant when pursuing an eviction action for breach of a rental agreement. As early as 1896, we held that a landlord who accepts rent after learning of a breach waives his right to pursue eviction for that breach. Smith v. Edgewood Casino Club,
