    Yes, she has to be evicted, a process you've already started.

    Sooner than what? How many days did you give her in the notice?

    You can't file an eviction notice, you can file a "pay or quit" notice. This notice would need to state that due to the following violations of the lease agreement (you do have a written lease), you are terminating tenancy. Then list the violations.

    F the landlord wants to evict for a reason other than failure to pay rent (such as holding over after the lease has expired or for another breach of the lease), the landlord must give 14 days notice. This notice is a notice to remedy or quit, meaning that the tenant can fix the breach within 14 days to avoid eviction. Notice requirements are further explained by S.C. Code of Laws 27-40-710.
