What does she think she can sue for ? ( in our state month to month renters with out a written lease are to be given at a minimum a whole rental period of notice just so you know ) Has she tried to move back in ? Any argument she makes about a supposed self help eviction by you might not stand in a court room because even with the yelling she still left on her own , could she argue that you constructively evicted her ? A lawyer could tell you what they think. Does she still have keys ? It may be a good idea to go take a inventory of her things so you have a record of what has been left in your care ( at some point you may well have to send to her a notice that warns her that her things may be treated as abandoned if she doesn't make arrangements to get them) At this point Id suggest she may be huffing and puffing thinking she may have a easy civil claim against both of you. Could she sue you, sure she could try , but she would have to prove you illegally evicted her , if she had refused to leave the day of the yelling and then you later changed the locks or waited until she had stepped out of the house and packed her all up and moved her things out she could easily claim you illegally evicted her. ( BTW typically constructive eviction in our state is due to conditions the landlord has allowed to make the rental unsafe to live in or not habitable )
