I allowed my son, his wife, and my two grandchildren to move in with me almost a year ago because they needed help after a failed business attempt. They have never paid rent or room and board and only contributed $300 for air conditioning over the summer. I gave them 10 weeks notice to leave by the end of the year, but they asked for a six-week extension to purchase a house with his inheritance after my mother's death. They do not seem to be making any effort to find a house or leave. What can I do legally to remove them from my house in Arizona?
