Well she is trespassing and you have a squatter situation on your hands. You need to start eviction proceeding against her immediately. Hopefully you have not accepter any rent from her at all and you will not either. that will help her establish a landlord tenant situation and then there are notice issues, etc., that you ould run in to. Get help though. Evicting is complicated procedually in court and must be done right from the start. Good luck.
