The same way that you would evict any tenant under the laws in your state. If they are paying rent and have missed a rent payments then often a 3 day notice is served prior to starting a summary proceeding for eviction. If they do not pay rent are a guest turned squatter, a 30 day notice is often used. Your state has property laws that differ from those in other states so I caution you to seek help from an landlord tenant attorney to be sure that you are doing things properly. Good luck.
