How to approach tenant about possible eviction

[David Kramp]

Just wanting to know a good way to approach a flaky tenant who has exceeded her 60 day notice to vacate. She is asking for more time to find a suitable place to live here in Santa Barbara. Low volume of rentals in our town. I want to evict her but my wife wants to work with her (lame IMO). 

How best to proceed? Lawyer up right away and post notice... Or give her extra time to find a place? Meanwhile there has been no exchange or acceptance of money/rent for the extension (Theft). 

Thank you in advance. 

Was thinking of sending an email stating we may evict her but not sure how to do it without screwing myself later with a schmuck attorney  contesting on her side. 

Thanks

Dave
