To get someone out of your house fast, you must first determine if they are a guest or a tenant (even without a lease) and then act accordingly: for a guest, you can call the police for trespassing if they refuse to leave after you ask, but for a tenant, you must follow formal eviction laws by serving a written notice and filing a court order, which takes longer but is legally required. If you fear for your safety or they cause damage, call law enforcement immediately, as they can intervene for criminal trespassing, but for a non-threatening situation, formal eviction is the safest route. For Guests (No Established Tenancy) Tell them to leave: Clearly and firmly state they must leave. Call the Police: If they refuse, call the police to report trespassing.

Police Action: Police can ask them to leave or arrest them if they refuse, especially if you have proof of ownership.
