Without more info we can't know what's going on. It could be that the OP is the elderly who needs help at home, so an adult child moved in to help, but OP thinks s/he can live alone just fine.

Since you tagged your post "Elder Abuse" and "Living Independently" I'm guessing you mean an adult son/daughter/relative has moved back home, or lives at home refusing to leave?
I'm also guessing they are not on the deed to the property as joint owners?

The previous posters have given you excellent instructions on the procedures to follow for an eviction.

Make sure you are not supporting them, buying them food, cigarettes, paying for their car or cell phone. You don't have to do that!

It might be easiest for you in the long run if you saw an Eviction Attorney to assist you.

If you have gone to court and a Judge has ruled they need to leave, I think the next step is the Sheriff or local Police. If a Judge gave them a certain day, by not complying the police should be able to escort them out. You may have to go back to court to tell the judge the renters have not complied. It becomes a "contempt of court" I think. Then the judge draws up an order for the Sheriff to escourt them out.

Have you used a lawyer at all in 4 yrs? I know COVID stopped evictions but they should have been out before COVID.

Chris, you have not completed your profile. We have no way of knowing who they are, why they moved in and why you want them gone.

Most likely you will have to start a formal eviction process according to the laws in your jurisdiction. And be prepared to follow through.

Raise the rent. Send notice in writing.
If not paid when due, then evict them.
Then the Sheriff will come and remove them.

Who? Parents? Children? Squirrels?

Who is living in your home? Adult family members? Were they brought in to care for your parent?

You can evict them for nonpayment of rent. Rent means that they're free to use the rental property, your home, as any housemate does: You clean up after yourself, you take turns cleaning out the fridge, mowing the lawn, etc. if they can't even do that, then evict them.

If they moved in to take care of gram or another family member and are not doing it to your satisfaction, then they should be evicted so that you can get full-time caregivers in there who are not tenants, but workers with contracts and another place to go immediately after employment terminates.
