Tenant Uncooperative on Move out.

I have a tenant that is supposed to be moving out today. She is giving me the run around on turning in the keys.

Backstory: We started the lease under a property management company. The tenant was always late with the rent and the PM never done anything about it. They say that they charged her late fees but never collected. The lease ran from Jan. 1, 2018 to Dec. 31, 2018. November we filed for eviction for non payment of October and November.

I had a 1 yr agreement with the property manager. Come December I fired the property manager because the agreement states I need to give 30 days notice.  The PM then and there gave the tenant all of my contact info and basically told me I would need to finish the eviction process. 

The tenant then paid the rest of October rent and Nov. rent and would eventually pay December in return that I cancel the eviction. I did cancel the eviction on the condition she move out on Dec 31. 

Dec 31 turned into today Jan 1. We agreed that she would turn in the keys and we would do a final walk thru at 4pm. Now all the sudden she got called into work and will not be there. She insist she has most of her things out and should be done late tonight.

My problem is I feel like I gave her all the leeway in the world and on top of that I don't think the person on the lease was actually staying there. Anytime during the year I have had to interact with them it has been her mom and mom's boyfriend there. 

My question is, should I just wait another day to see if she moves? What recourse do I have since she did not meet the 4pm deadline we agreed to and we are technically in a new month?
