Neither of us have broached the topic of renewing their lease term, so at this point I'm assuming they are planning to stay and would like some extra time, so I thought it might benefit us both to end the fixed lease on 6/30, and then start a new month-to-month lease with a 1 month term and 30 days notice, all on 7/1, with some language built in for their leniency on showing the place to prospective tenants.  

I would let her know that you plan raising the rent and if she can’t afford it then plan on giving her notice.
