I just want her to pay 600 in full on the same day every month. Ideally 8th but as she's in retail she gets payed different dates

Yes, the dates will vary but not too difficult to track. You charge her £600 per month, so £7200 annually, or £553.85 every 4 weeks if you want to match it to her pay schedule.
Now that the numbers have been established, let's look at the payment schedule. Her next pay is due March 22, so the previous two would have been Feb 23 and Jan 26. Assuming you want to make it convenient for her to pay, then she owed you £300 on Feb 8 when she moved in and that would cover the rent until Feb 23 on a prorated basis (15 days). On Feb 23, she should have paid you £553.85 to cover the rent until March 22. So that's £853.85 to cover the rent until March 22.
So far, she has paid £600 which means she is £253.85 behind from the \"rent to be paid in advance\" perspective. So on March 22, she needs to pay you £553.85 (for the period till April 19) + £253.85 arrears, so a total of £807.7. This will make the rent current.
Obviously, the other option is to stick to the \"once a calendar month\" option but that will always create a cash flow mismatch for someone who is probably not making much."},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52357623","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"jco83"},"datePublished":"2024-03-10T10:41:54.000Z","text":"£600pm is pretty much £138 per week.

You need to get at least £500 deposit and upfront rent so say she moves in 8th she pays full rent on 8th then same again. Write it on all a diary and get her to sign it as she has paid in full instalment
Also wait when they leave the house, most don’t pay bills, cause damage or leave mess behind although I don’t want to put you off it’s expected, that’s when you return the deposit or use it"},{"@type":"Comment","@id":"https://www.hotukdeals.com/comments/permalink/52357653","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"sleepingwonder"},"datePublished":"2024-03-10T10:49:28.000Z","text":"How much notice do I need to give her to move out.

It's been just over a month since your tenant's agreement kicks in. You need to lay down the T&Cs of her residence NOW before she walks all over you and takes full advantage of you not putting your foot down on the various issues that blight this tenancy.
The tenant is always one calendar month in arrears, but it is you who is in arrears of receiving payment. Sort it out now for your own sanity.
That cat has got to go, if you do not want any pets. Be strong, remove her if she doesn't agree. I hope a \"no pets\" clause in buried in the tenancy agreement ? If there isn't, that's problematic If it was verbal, well she's already wrapped you around her little finger.
Upon her signing the tenancy agreement, why did you not collect two calendar months rent ? If she couldn't afford it, she can't move in. Don't allow her to walk all over you. Demand that the 1 month rent that gets her in arrears must be paid NOW. She has to beg and borrow from family and friends, get a bank to give her an interest-free overdraft, invest in Bitcoin, $NVDA, etc., or get a temporary second job to pay for her rent not paid.
But I was doing her a favour
