Tenant won't move out after 60 day notice

I have a section 8 tenant that is on a month to month.  An absolute nightmare of a person.  I gave her 60 days notice, and now four days before the end of those 60 days she (via her case manager at the housing authority) is asking for 'just one more day'. I am in the Philly, PA area.

Can I have her arrested for trespassing on day 61 (the day after the 60 day notice expires)? My understanding is she would become a holdover tenant and subject to the 3 month penalty clause in the contract, and eviction as she signed a waiver of notice. I know she will never afford to pay for anything, I just want her GONE.

Thoughts?  Anyone encounter a similar situation?

What about a pay to move? Give her cash the second she hands over the keys.
