Do I have to give an explanation and reason

Hello all,

i sent tenant certified letter with 60 day advanced notice of non renewal of her lease. She is sending me tons of text messages asking for a reason as to why she needs to leave and telling me she has no where to go.

Some history about the tenant:

Sec8, rent is 500 bucks a month below market rent, been there for 5 yrs. Husband is very rude and disrespectful. When we ask him something he wont answer or kus screams at us. She Pays her portion of rent on time. She has been looking for about 2 yrs to move out but cant afford the new rents in the area. 

So now she is questioning why she needs to leave if she hasnt done anyrhing and saying im being unfair. So if at any given time she were to find something she would up and leave and doesnt care how it would impact us and he ramifications if would have to us? So that is one of the reasons we decided not to renew her lease.  she doesnt want to live there anymore if she is looking for a new place. And we also decided since we can fix up and rent for 500 more a month why not and also her husb who is also on lease is not pleasant to deal with is rude and disrespectful he yells and screams he carries a gun that I guess he's licensed for but he like keeps it visible kind of like he's trying to intimidate us or he'll leave it  right by the front door when we walk in sp its im clear sight?

so I just would like to know if I need to give her a reason and looking for suggestions. Perhaps something along the lines of our relationship has gone south and we are not getting along anymore. Its an uncomfortable situation with your husband? Or should i stick to a reason around her not being happy there anymore which she expressed to me verbally several times that she is vigilantly looking for a new place

thank you in advance for helping me with this question
