I felt sorry for the homeless couple and told them they could stay for only a few days now it has been over ten days. I told them nicely that they had to go by Monday,three days later,when the girl produced a protection order {temporary}and laughed at me and said now we live here permanent. I flipped and called 911 and the cops said I have to leave my own apt. they do not pay rent they are not on the rental agreement I'm not having any kind of relationship or partnership or anything. How can I remove these squatters before I get myself in trouble by forcefully removing them
