you cannot raise plea that you will be paying for half portion only.
the default you committed has to be made good by you only.
after assessment you will get one opportunity to pay the entire rent...otherwise the eviction will follow and the rent will also be recovered by other legal processes.

You cannot take benefit of your own wrong. A wrongdoer can never claim for equity before law. You shall have to pay all arrears of rent with interest and cost.
