Fortunately, or unfortunately, housing court is very tenant-friendly.

What has the tenant said?

I would hate to own rental properties in a frum neigborhood. I don't want to have to be the one to evict a frum family when they are at at their lowest.

There are methods that need to be done by "mistake", for example termites, rodents, random power outages.. but these should only be done of all fails, the fallout and chilul hashem can be really bad..

Don't forget fire (make sure you have insurance).

What has the tenant said?

She lost her job which she held for 15 years and she is expecting the tax refund shortly.

No, this tenant thinks she is a king, always coming downstairs demanding that my Shver fix the latest thing that she broke. If my Shver isn't available, she pays herself and deducts it from the rent.

No. It doesn't seem simple at all:

Do you have any idea how long that takes?

She lost her job which she held for 15 years and she is expecting the tax refund shortly.

So, I'd personally give her until then and then start the proceeding to evict.

I hear ya, but the refund can only help her for a month or two. The prospects of this sixty-year-old to find a job anytime soon seems to be very slim.

The first thing to do, is to give an official (dated) letter stating that she will be evicted in 90 days due to no payment of rent, signed in blue ink, given to her with a witness there (make a copy of it first) If you can get her to sign it, that would be amazing, otherwise have the witness write on the copy that he witnessed you giving her the original on the date stated, and have the witness sign it... then continue with your work...

That will do precisely... nothing.

Well one of the first thing you need is proof of notification of eviction... that should be sufficient...
