Did she give written notice or just the phone call?

Doubtful that tenant would move because of  a $50 increase, but you never know.  You could raise the rent $75 and if tenant gets prickly offer to negotiate down to $50.

Sounds like they may be living paycheck to paycheck, but let them figure it out 

@Vitaliy Merkulov thanks I've never heard of renterinc

@Ralph R.good points.  @Account Closed She made the check payable to the the PM company which she has NEVER done. She has always paid on-line and I have the tenant's register of payments.  She's just giving me the run-around.  I will not let the PM deposit the check into my account.  My contract with him has been terminated. I'm giving her the statutory amount of notice for non-renewal.  She'd be dumb as dirt to think she'd stay one second past her lease expiration. Her 3-day POQ will contain payment instructions. I will send a "late notice"email though, however, she has not responded to any of my emails to date.

@Polly Gage, I did send the letter priority with tracking, but damn I can't find the receipt :( I'm sure it's stuck between something.

@Kelly N. lease expires Feb 2017.  She was offered to get out of lease with no penalty, but told PM she had "no where to go".  She has harassed the landscaping work crew as well as my handyman.  She said she wasn't notified of landscaping and demanded that he leave.

Forgot to mention that I found out she faked a landlord reference from her previous residence.  On and on and on

The PM notified the tenants by letter and I notified the tenants by letter on June 21.  PM's letter was about a week before mine.  Of course she will say that she never received notice.

I posted on another LL and would like to get y'alls thoughts on the situation:

I'm on a merry-go with a POS tenant. I terminated contract with PM. All tenants were by PM notified that I would be self-managing beginning July 1st. I sent my own letter to tenants stating the new payments arrangements. Tenant sends her check to the PM just to irritate me. PM emails me and asks if I want him to deposit in my account. Check is made payable to him.

What would you do? Have PM return check to tenant and continue with PQ? Or let PM deposit in my account?

There is a rough backstory  -- tenant has been a PITA since day ONE and her attitude and behavior are continuing to escalate.  She has a year lease, otherwise she would have been gone long ago.  

Let me just insert here that she is an attorney.  I was showing a vacant unit and as prospects passed by she warned them not to rent from me, I was liar, etc (if I'm all those things then why are you still here?). Lately when I go to the property, she stalks me and takes pictures of me until I leave.  I have called the police twice because of her ugly actions.   Police were called a third time because she got into a verbal fight with her boyfriend -- haven't seen him since.  The list goes on ...

I offered half-off the first month to get my units rented.

I would send the notice by certified mail/FEDEX/UPS or a process server to ensure receipt. I will have this same issue in a few months for a problem tenant and I don't want my notice thrown out on a technicality.  If you personally put the notice in the mailbox that may not count, since that is for USPS only. You should also check your state laws for notice procedures.
