Eviction process for late payment

[Alex Moazeni]

Hi.

I have a tenant that she hasn't pay the rent for JULY yet.

I am keep adding late fees and charges.

She reached out to me and asking if I can waive the late charges because she laid off and looking for a new job and she doesn't have the rent for now and no time frame to pay the rent.

My answer was no and I offered her to pay what she owes and move out immediately before I start the eviction process.

My question is

1 should I start the eviction now or wait until 30 days?

2 should I do it by myself or hire an attorney?

Appreciate your thoughts.
