You are correct in saying that you should stay out of your tenant's disagreements. BOTH of them are your tenants, so never take sides one over the other. They both signed a lease with you, so both of them are responsible for any damages or unpaid rent, even if one of them has already moved out. Any future notices to them (such as a 3 day notice to pay rent, 30 day notice to move, security deposit statement, or court filings), should be in writing, with BOTH names on the documents, and sent by both regular and certified mail to them at their current place.

What you should concentrate on now, is your spouse's health, not on your T's problems. Don't worry about repairing any damages at your rental until both Ts are out, but get them out ASAP. If they haven't paid April's rent start your state's eviction process on Monday. If their lease will be up shortly, give them a 30 day notice to move. Once they are out, change the locks, take pictures of everything they left you (damages, personal items, garbage, furniture, etc ), then start cleaning and repairing things, and send them the Sec. Dep. statement within 30 days, showing what they still owe you. Then plan on taking them to court later this year for what they owe.
