You are going to have two choices to get them out.
1) Eviction - which may be time-consuming and expensive, Google tells me the lease will expire before you can evict.
2) Offering cash for keys - pay them to leave

It may not be the answer you are looking for..

I believe every word of it.

I had three rentals for 20 years. I've had worse.

Your two choices have been given and I agree with them.

With one more admonition. When you have finally rid yourself of these people, fix up the house and sell it.

This won't be the last time you have lousy tenants. I can guarantee it.
