First, are they there on a lease? And second, who runs the show here you the owner or them?????
as property owner you have the right to give them a reasonable time to pay, if they choose to still not pay kick them out. Get an eviction notice and paste it to their door. If it progresses, bring in the law!

You can start eviction proceedings.
Either a notorized letter telling them to vacate in 30 days or I suggest you use the sheriffs department. They handle this kind of thing all the time.
Your tenent may ask to live out his security--I recommend you do not allow this. He has no legal right to do this and you would have no immediate recourse if he moves and he has destroyed the place.
During this time your tenent may try to pay you a partial payment of the rent. If you accept this payment it makes the eviction proceeding null and void because he is making an attempt to pay
When it goes to court for the eviction the judge will let your tenent know that even though he is evicted he still must pay the back and present rent he owes. Eviction does not mean you as the tenent get away without paying. At that time he will also be libel for any damages he caused that are not normal wear and tear and that are above the cost that the security would cover.
Check with your local sheriff department for any other regulations , forms etc you will need in your state to proceed.
Good Luck

If you have a lease of any kind, take them to court. First give them a 3 day notice, asking them to pay or leave if they refuse to pay. Then you have the right to start eviction through the court. If you do not have a written lease, they are legally not allowed to live there, but you will have a heck of a time removing them because to the court they don't exist. i suggest getting the advice of a LOCAL atty.

You need to send them a certified letter stateing that you wish them to pay the balance in full by such a date or you will begin eviction proceedings. If they don't pay up, contact your local courthouse and obtain the paperwork to evict. You will have to serve the tenants with the paperwork and give them x amount of days to respond to that, and if they don't the judge will decide. That is how it was in Maine when I had to go through the process. Good luck. Gotta love those freeloaders.

Have them evicted. That's the easy answer. The best thing is to seek legal advice, and determine the status of the renters. Also if you are doing section 8 renting, then you have to have government interference in your problem.

not a whole lot, if they insist on not paying. You can send them a note and tell them that they will be sent to small claims court if not complying
