Linda, What Glenn said is still worth understanding and taking seriously. The police it seems won't act to assist you if someone to whom you at any point gave permission to stay - refuses to leave your house, and already has some things there, or if they get mail, or exhibit some / any level of residency - even if they are damaging things on purpose (probably it must be under ~$5,000 worth to avoid prosecution), seriously jeopardizing the property with negligence etc., costing you scads of dollars in utilities, etc., etc., etc.
You will be told by the police that you need to apply to Landlord Tenant Court at 34 S. 11th St., and will probably then be told you need an L & I license, and will then probably have to wait months (often many long months)... judges are almost unavailable... and by the time the Sheriff acts you could be robbed blind... Trust me, it happened to me. It is like one of the worst parts of Dr. Zhivago, without having the good parts.
