I hate to say this, but I think that things are going down hill and that you are running out of choices here. Trying to work with the tenant is only going to expose you to potential liability (i.e. fighting a case regardless of its merit). Therefore, i suggest that you begin the exiction process to get them out. You have grounds (i.e. failure to pay rent) and you firing the first shot will set the stage for any claim that you are not doing your job as landlord maintaining the premises. Start the exiction process and put the place up for rent.
