... on camera to her personally with two witnesses. She gave 14 days to find a new home. It happened on the 3rd, and she handed over the written notice on the 14th (by that time she was abroad). I am told that the countdown starts from the 14th. Is my message valid?

The lease agreement is considered terminated from the moment the lessee receives a written notice of termination of the lease agreement. Since you delivered this notice to the tenant on the 14th, the contract is considered terminated from that date, according to the law.
