Lease ending soon, still need to file to evict??

I have a tenant who's lease is ending middle of next month, they haven't paid for this month's rent yet.

We gave them notice that we will move to evict if they don't get caught up.

Should we just wait out the lease since its so close and then file a demand of possession?

Or do we still need to still go through the eviction process?

Trying to find the simplest route to take to resolve this issue.

So there's no way to save the hassle and money by waiting a couple weeks for the lease to expire?

 They have failed to honor the agreement by paying rent so why do you believe they will honor the agreement and leave?  File the eviction!
