My fiancé and I received a notice to evict. It does not state why so we assume it is for being 1/2 month late on our rent.Since we received the notice, we have been trying to call her for two days to pay her what we owe and she will not answer her phone or respond back to us. Do we have the right to put it in an escrow account and send her a certified letter?

Why not just send it? Mark the check as bringing your rent up to date.
The notice you received was probably the first step. If you don't vacate they will need to file for an eviction order which means a court hearing. If you pay in full at the hearing the eviction should be cancelled unless you have been chronically late.

A landlord in most states of course and just give you a notice to move, just because they want you to move, if you owe rent, the actual notice is normally a pay or quit, ( move or pay) so if this is the only issue if you pay the amount due plus any required late fee, then if they take you to court for an eviction, most likely the judge will not allow it, if this was the reason.
Escrow accounts and the such are involved, I will agree with Scottt merely send them a check, perhaps send it registered or at least where you can tract it.
