No. Just send the tenant a three-day notice for the balance for each of the four months, i.e. to pay or quit.

No. Your recourse at this point is to send a three day notice to pay or quit. If you do not wish to do this, at least document that you are not accepting the change in rent by providing the tenant with written correspondence, return receipt requested.
If you would like further assistance, feel free to contact me.
