I'm curious to know what state this is. I don't know what a rent board is. Is this rent controlled, or section 8 (or neither)? Did you sign the lease with the tenant, or was this a lease that was already existing when you bought? You really should contact a lawyer and see if there is anything in your lease that you can find that will let you evict her.

The tenant offered to do a direct deposit for the rent and she never gave us a deposit. We hardly saw her after this and getting to the lease fell to the wayside. She BS the Rent Board stating in one of her letters to them that she implored us to sign a new lease with her. The truth of the matter is she avoided a new lease because she knows she has to give us a deposit. The Rent Board deals with rent control. We can evict her for not allowing us to go in the property, however I don't know if I have to go to a lawyer for this. We have talked to different lawyers and have been told different things. I'm under the impression that the laws here are so twisted no one knows for sure anymore.

I suggest you go to the sheriff's office sign the eviction papers and get her out of your property. Your tenant has breached the contract already by not giving you the deposit. Good luck
