You can charge her for the days she is there during the month but you can't change the locks or just evict her.
Since, as you admit, you have a verbal lease agreement you'd have to go through the eviction process in your city/state to put her out and I don't know of any that allow you to toss the person's stuff on the curb and change the locks.
In theory you could probably go after her for the last month's rent. I can't think of any reason you couldn't but I doubt it is worth going after.
