Another "moldy" post.

What would you do in my situation. I have a tenant that has been with me for about 2 years her lease just came up so she in currently month to month. For the most part she has been decent. A few months back she called and said there was a leak in the basement it was the pressure relief valve on the water heater. I had one of my repair guys go fix it. Then about a month later she called and complained about mold on the on the sheetrock and a little on the baseboard about a 10x10 room.  I went to check it out and there was. I had it cleaned with a mold cleaner and then had them put Kilz on it and repainted. I have gone over there since and do not see any mold or smell any musty smell. Now she is telling me that she did a Pro lab test from Home Depot and there is mold in the air. She wants to have a company come out and do an air quality test and it the mold levels are elevated then she wants me to pay for the work and the test. So my conundrum I could just give her a 30 day notice and have her leave (that would be fine). At the same time she has been a decent tenant and if there really is a problem I do want to take care of it. So what would you do?
