Non-renewing Lease and No Rent

[Brandon V.]

Hi All,

I recently sent out a non-renewal lease notice to a month to month tenant on 9/29, saying their final day was 10/31.  They texted me and confirmed that they had received the notice on 10/1.  In that notice I also mentioned that rent was due for October.  The 5th came and went without any rent payments and I have posted a 5 day notice now to pay or quit.  My question now is do I go through with the eviction or just wait until they move out on 10/31 and deduct from the security deposit.  My security deposit is equal to the rent so the late fee wouldn't be included or any other deductions.

If they don't move out on 10/31, then I file immediately.  

Thanks,

Brandon
