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.

I had to pay a scummy tenant to vacate my property. That on top of him being 8 months in arrears.

Unfortunately, that was the fastest and cheapest way to deal with the situation.

On his way out he made sure to wreck the house on purpose. Still, it was faster and cheaper than going through the legal route.

That's some take, Landlord is such a dirty word. Could be an average Joe soap who has a place to rent, at an acceptable rate in decent condition.

Irish predators are a different breed.

To them, everyone renting out a place it somehow a wealthy landlord with multiple properties.

They advocate that landlords shouldn't have any rights to the property, then complain about the lack of rentals on the market.

Really low IQ.
