What's the renew policy on their lease after due? Does is automatically renewal? or month by month? The best way to do is send them a certified mail indicated you'd like to terminate the lease 30 days later, which you'll get a receipt proved you does send them a 30-day notice. If they still wouldn't get out of your house, you simply call a police officer and show him/her your copy of 30-day notice and receipt. Police officer will do the rest of job for you.
Do not make your tenants think you're easy to get rib of cause you're a lady. Woman can be strong, if you want.
