Assuming that she doesn't pay rent (or any form of it such as utilities, groceries, etc.), then she is not a tenant; she is a guest. Presumably, she has lived on the premises for more than 30 days, so you will need to file for an "ejectment" action which is like an expeditied form of eviction but for a non-tenant. At this point, you should consult directly with a local reall estate attorney who specializes in landlord/tenat cases; they can best advise you further.
