DOCUMENT EVERYTHING! This isn't legal advice, just something I've heard is a good thing to do in order to protect yourself. Every time she does something nasty, speaks to you, whatever, note down the date and time, what happened, and who was around. If she flips out and you come home tomorrow to find your stuff on the lawn, you'll have documentation to back you up. If she actually goes through with a proper evection procedure, you'll have documentation to back you up. If she tries anything funny and you need to get the police involved, you'll have documentation backing you up.

This morning she was banging on the floor (our ceiling) with a baseball bat non-stop for a good 30 minutes. This was at 6am. When we left for work she was yelling something at my wife, and flicked me off as I drove away... I really wish I had a video camera for all of this.
Kill her with kindness, let her explode, watch the fireworks fly, and let her hang herself. She has to move, you get to stay, and you become the neighborhood hero!
I hate it when we lose a tenant because of some annoying hag.

Thanks for the support all. And no, we have not violated any terms of our lease agreement. She's just completely belligerent, and can not handle anyone standing up to her BS. When I think of all the favors we did for her over the years it makes me sick.

This thread is funny. Here in the "Golden State" the laws are all to protect the tenant. I may not have it exact, but I believe the landlord has to give a written 30 day notice to move out, if it's month-to-month and no lease. (If there's a lease, look at the terms) After 30 days, if the tenant hasn't moved, then you go to court to get an eviction notice. That takes a while. After that is served on the tenant, they have more time to actually clear out. If they file bankruptcy, that delays the whole process.
In the end, it can take six months to get rid of a tenant, and the whole time they aren't paying a dime of rent. I advise clients, to get the job done, (where they want them out quick) to offer the tenant a sum of cash to get out, payable when the place is empty, not torn up, and the keys are handed over.

fight fire with fire.
she has to live under the terms of her lease too, right? document and record all of her violations (in video if you can) and send them to the actual owner. When the owner comes to her and she mentions your single unproveable violation, she'll be the one to leave.

Everything here is in your favor now. Follow through with this and contact the authorities when she's "harrasing" you; someone like this is at the brink of exploding at any moment.

Well, we have been documenting everything, but we have no desire to stay here. Today we got an "eviction notice", which was really just a piece of paper that was hand-written by her saying that we had until tonight at 10pm to move or she was going to call the police. I thanked her for the written notice, and informed her of the actual law which says we have three days from tomorrow to leave. She then went into a tirade full of expletives. I just laughed at her, and said that I felt sorry for her. I then calmly told her about the actual law and the fact that I had already talked to the sheriffs department about it. She seemed confused about what the real law says, so I handed her a copy of the Colorado Tenants Rights. She walked away after that.
