Tenant Wont Pay

[Thomas Jones]

Ok so I have a tenant a little over a year now who has fallen behind.
Her rent is 500 for a 1 bedroom. A few months after she began living there she fell behind and needed to pay for her rent at the end of the month rather then the 1st. So I allowed this. so augusts rent is paid on august 31st.

Now Augusts rent was not paid. It is now Sept 11th. Can I give her a 3 day to pay or quit notice??? (massachusetts) In the end I would like to evict her any way.

She is also month - month, no lease.

Thanks for the responses I need help to get out of this one.

Assuming the default lease is month to month, what's the minimum time to terminate? If she suddenly pays, I'd still terminate the lease? If she wants to stay, she gets caught up and signs a lease.
