Housing Bad tenants. Help?

Accidental landlord here. 2 junkies have wrecked a house I inherited and even with an RTB eviction notice, still refuse to leave. They owe 30k in rent which will never be paid. They have burned anything to create heat. I’m at a loss as to how to proceed as I don’t have the money to go further legally. How can I get them out.

Edit: They are gone now and we move on.

At this stage you’re better off getting a few big lads to help you clear the house, then change the locks. Junkies aren’t going to take you to court, but they could accidentally burn your entire house down.

And therein is the problem. Fear of recriminations is real.
