As a general matter, if you owe the money, you owe it all right now, and the landlord has the absolute right to take you to court and to obtain a money judgment for the amount due. It would be stupid for the landlord to do that if you are in fact making regular voluntary payments, but your making of voluntary payments for a portion of the debt does not excuse you from the obligation to pay the entire amount when it is due.
