You should always give notices in writing with a delivery/service that can be documented.

Imagine the tenant doesn't move out. You file eviction and end up in Court. The tenant stands in front of the Judge and swears you never ever gave any notice at all. They tell the Judge you're pulling this because they asked you not to leave your illegal drugs laying around. The Judge ask you for proof you gave them notice. What will you show? If the Judge accepts that you did not give notice because you lack proof, and a question if this is retaliatory against the tenant is floating in their head, you just may end up having to pay the tenant.

If you are unaware of how renting works from a legal standpoint, hire an attorney or get out of the rental business.
