<p>TL;DR - Yes you will have to break a full set.</p>

<p>Looking at the rules <a href="http://monopolydealrules.com/index.php?page=instructionbook#top" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a> regarding payment of rent it says</p>

  <p>If you have no cards in front of you to pay with, you don't pay at

<p>So, if you are able to pay the rent you must do.  As you have a full set in front of you, you have cards.  Therefore you must pay.</p>

<p>There is nothing in the rules that says once you have a set it is 'safe' somehow and can not be broken.</p>

Absolutely correct, the confusion might stem from the fact that complete sets are "safe" from cards like Sly Deal and Forced Deal. Other players can't make you break a set with these cards, but they can force you to do it yourself if you have no other way of paying a debt.

TL;DR - Yes you will have to break a full set.

Looking at the rules [here](http://monopolydealrules.com/index.php?page=instructionbook#top) regarding payment of rent it says

So, if you are able to pay the rent you must do. As you have a full set in front of you, you have cards. Therefore you must pay.

There is nothing in the rules that says once you have a set it is 'safe' somehow and can not be broken.
