If the agreement was that she must pay rent and is failing to do so, you may demand possession of the property and then file a dispossessory action if she does not vacate by that date. If it is unclear whether she is obligated to pay rent, you will have to provide at least 60 days' notice.

If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. The link to my contact information is below. Thank you.
