IS INTERNET SERVICE CONSIDERATED UTILITY?

[Vanina Lopez]

My tenant didn't pay me rent and utilities and I gave her a 3 Day Notice which is due next Tuesday.

She threatened me that she won't leave for another 2 months and she told me that she doesn't care about having an eviction!

I don't want this underworld demon to continue living in my property and think she owns the house, I want to make her life miserable.

This is my question:

Is internet considerate utility?

She pays 50% of the bill and I include it in the rental invoice but it is not part of the Lease Agreement.

She just sent me $50 for the internet payment only,

If I accept it I am waiving my rights in the eviction process but

If reject the payment I am complying with the law.

If I reject it the internet service will be cut by Monday, I don't want to be blamed by the court for disconnecting internet, I believe internet is not considered a basic utility as water or electricity

What should I do?
