When to give a notice to evict

[Bill Turner]

I have a problem tenant that does not pay rent on time or the way it is in the lease to be paid. Due on the 1st late fee on 5th. Direct deposit to bank. Almost every month I pick up cash on the 5th Last month she text me that it was to much to deal with and her baby dad is not gone to help and she is moving out. I text her right back if that was her 30 day notice. No response. I have text her and called her several times with no luck. To the 5th nothing from her so I went by and left a note on door. That if rent was not paid tomorrow or she did not contact me I would start eviction process. That got her attention. Lol. Her text were all over the place rent is not due till the 5th. Not true T is embarrassing to have a note on door and they r moving out by Friday. I said they need to give me 30 days notice and 2 months rent to break lease. It is in the lease on separate page and I always go over that page. Than she says she gave notice last month. But no date. Pain in my butt Did I jump the gun with a threat on the 5th? Should I let her move on Friday and be done with her or make her comply with the lease. Will be glad to she her go Bill
