service to be performed, in order to save a penalty or
forfeiture, which would be incurred by nonpayment or
nonperformance; as, the tender of rent due, or of the
amount of a note, with interest.

be at the time and place where the rent or debt ought
to be paid, and it must be to the full amount due.
