It is your lease. Are your daughter and her boyfriend listed as permitted occupants? If not, their occupancy may be in the nature of a sublease if you pay the rent and they were to pay you. So there's a bit more involved because if the boyfriend is living up to his RENTAL agreement with you, you may not be able to involuntarily evict him. There must be more to this. And that could change the situation. Feel free to contact me by email with any further details.
