Eviction screw up maybe?

so I just bought this house with a FHA and now I gave this lady 60 days to move out plus willing to give her $1500 if she moved out during that time my issue is she had two weeks left and she couldn't find anything to move into so I proceeded and filing eviction and now there's an issue of her not being able to proceed to look for another unit because now it shows that she has a eviction process so now she can't get a new place to live. My question is should have I waited those two weeks or putting in the process of eviction was a good idea. I gave her a notice may 17 and I was going to give her until the end of July (75 days total) but I filed on July 11th.should I or should I have not waited.

Thanks in advance BP

 So if you gave her the 60-days notice on May 17th, shouldn't you wait until July 17th to file the eviction? If you filed early on July 11th, she could legally go into Court and fight you on procedural ground, and you will lose and have to start all-over again. Am I missing something?
