Not renewing the lease agreement in 2020

I am a tenant who has been living here for seven months now.  Out of the seven months, she was late in four months, the September month was even worse, she gave six different excuse when she promised to pay onthat day,then she would come up another excuse for not having the money.  When she finally paid early this month, she refused to pay her share of utilities.  Another reason that I don't want to renew with her was she turned on the air condition on while she went to work. We accidentally found out when we had to do repair at another tenant's.  The tenant then told me it is always on everyday. So the electric bill was almost $200 each month during the summer.  But she denies(she is a good liar) it.

My question is, if I give her a non-renewal letter and terminate the agreement, it expires at the end of February, 2020, with the new rent control law that will be in effect next January, do I need a just cause to get rid of her?  We have a lease agreement not month to month.  I just want to get rid of her.
