Getting a Tenant OUT in NJ?

I have a tenant that I would like to NOT renew. She has been very difficult overall. She may have vandalized another tenants belongings...there is some evidence. She has paid, mostly on-time or slightly late. Her lease is up on 10/31.

How do I get her out? Apparently, in NJ, a year lease means a lifetime lease! We must offer a renewal unless evicting. At least that is my understanding.

Do I simply raise the rent enough to make her want to leave, but not an outrageous amount? $100/month may do the trick. (The current rent is $1299)
