There are two things involved. Either way, you spend money.

Legally, they are entitled to six months quit notice. If in breach of that or the notice is improperly drafted, the client would stay in your house for free till the landlord's legal team get their acts together to evict him.

There is the 'other' way too. This costs money, but is faster. This was what the FG used to eject tenants at FG properties on the island durin the monetization era.

Inform your tenants of your plan to repossess your property for renovation purposes but give them some time to leave.
The most stubborn of the tenants should be treated as described below. The others would quickly leave.

At the agreed time, get some boys to do the eviction for you. Get some soldiers on standby to monitor the situation. But before that, go to the nearest police station to 'inform' them ($£).
Once the tenants on the property hv been cleared, get a carpenter to either remove the doors or change the locks.
Then, warn the tenants that anyone found on the property would be treated as thief.

Say I'm breaking the law, but even the FG toed the same line. After all, the Court can't say the tenant should go back to my house.
