    Since this would be a 30 day month to month rental anyway ( correct ?) if they move in merely give them notice evict.a

    ** Take the business of renting serously, if you think it is important enough to put into saying it, put it in writing next time.

    Be firm, let them know if they move the family in, you will have to evict them.

    ** based on the most common US law
