Month-to-month agreements are typically better for the landlord since you can usually change the terms whenever you want with proper notice (often with as little as 30 days notice), increase the rent as much and as often as you want (again, often with as little as 30 days notice), and more easily sever ties with tenants who aren’t working out. 

Did you check the public notices for that area for a probate case? 

Are there any creative ways that you keep yourself persistent?

Some methods are more expensive than others.Two keys are to consistently contact these leads, and hit them as early as possible, right when they get posted as public notice.

File the proper notices and proceed with the eviction.

I'm noticing several issues with regards to the calculations...

If I get a notice from the cities code enforcement department then they have not kept up with the lease agreement. 

@Raymond HillSend the notice to quit let her know that she has to pay or the eviction process will start.

We got together when I was 18 and she was 19 and spent our money freely and never budgeted for several years until we decided we wanted to settle down, start a family and start planning for our future.I was able through persistence and luck to secure a lucrative job in the oil field around the time our first child was born.

I also said the owner can give a $6k credit at closing if they want to make it my problem & id take $2k to the tenant and ask them to sign a notice of immediate vacancy and they leave.
