At this point, you will need to file for an"unlawful detainer (i.e. eviction). Once granted, you can force your tenants to vacate if need be. However, you will have to have the sheriff, etc. do that. Taking no self-help measures such as changing the locks or removing their personal belongings. If you do, then you may face a lawsuit for unlawful eviction. You can possibly find out more information about all of this online or you can speak with an attoreny who handles landlord/tenant cases.
