Do I need to give her 30 days as of date the eviction notice is served or 30 days after end of current month? I am finding conflicting information on this.

You don't give her an "eviction" notice at all, UNLESS she does not pay you March rent. You give her a standard 30 day MINIMUM notice to be out voluntarily by May 1. IF she pays you March rent in the next 3 days, then you write up your 30 day notice, and hand a copy of it to her by March 10. You also send it by both regular and certified mail to her. "30 days" is always the MINIMUM number of days a LL must give a T. If she get the notice March 10-15, you are effectively giving her 45-50 days to get out by May 1. A 30 day minimum notice is simply a TERMINATION of a lease, NOT an "eviction",

OK, I will make up a termination of lease letter. While she hasn't been accused of a crime the police told me they are planning to do a drug raid on the apartment. I didn't think they were supposed to tell people about drug raids. The police said she has "drug related texts" (marijuana) on her phone, but they haven't searched her phone with a warrant. She just handed them her phone to look through and get the numbers of the people that were at the party.

IMO if a T of mine is so stupid to invite people over to their rented house or apartment. And carry on as you have described. Then I would be ending their housing at my property ASAP. No excuse would stop me from sending this T packing. Let her go live with her new friends for a while.
