Your best course of action would be to communicate with the tenant and have them officially turn the property back over to you in writing.

Basically, this would be an agreement between both parties, signed by both parties, stating that the lease is hereby terminated on X date.

If the tenant refuses to communicate with you, then since she is paid through October, you post a pay or quit notice as soon as November's rent is late and then proceed with the eviction.

You may post 24 hour notice and enter the property, but under no circumstances should you disturb the tenant's belongings even if you consider them to be trash. Right now, the tenant still has possession.

What does your lease say about abandonment of the rental? Your State laws might say when a rental is abandoned and the procedure to follow.
