Legally you rent by the month per a signed lease. Not the day. So you are entitled to the full month of November.
If you rent a motel room for the night. Do you get money back if you leave 4 hours early?

If the tenant or sec 8 did not want to be responsible for the full month. The tenant should have moved out by the first. They knew they were getting evicted.
There is not fraud of any type.
Normal accounting would require you to apply any payment to the oldest balance first. So she paid in November for September.

State maybe different. Here we can still accept payment as long as we send a simple letter stating the payment was accepted with reservations. Send this receipt for her payment now to last address.

But would not worry to much.
