No trespassing or eviction?

[Lee Carrell]

I have a tenant who has been renting for almost three years. She has always paid in full and on time. However, she now owes for property damage in the amount of $420. The deposit is $515. Her lease ends on November 28?

Recently, her brother began coming over to visit or spend the weekend. I believe that he is responsible for $290 of the damaged property, but don't have proof! I already sent her a '3-day or Quit' notice requesting that she pay $100 toward the damages now or move out.

Now my question is this, do I:

1) Go ahead and pay a lawyer to evict her now or

2) Have a 'no trespassing' order placed on her brother and just not renew her lease?
