As a property owner you shouldn't ever take laws into your hands when it comes to evicting a terrible tenant if you don't want to be hunted by your action. The court or law frowns at self help when it comes to eviction action on any tenant on your property. You don't need to do a extra-judicial action as the property owner.

The right thing you should do is to first give the tenant a written eviction notice or letter, this is to first alert the tenant to your eviction decision but if the tenant is stubborn and still remain put after the expiration of the eviction notice, you don't have to throw the tenant out by yourself.

You need to approach the court to start a formal eviction proceeding that will enable you eject the tenant lawfully. The court is only the rightful place that will give an eviction order to eject the tenant. So it is good to do it right and do it rightfully.

The valid process of Evicting a tenant:
Evicting a tenant is a procedure that requires the landlord to take legal action against the tenant who has not paid rent and violated their lease agreement. This can be done through a court order or by giving the proper notice.

The landlord must have a written lease agreement with all tenants, and official documentation verifying that this is true. The landlord must also have proof that he or she owns the property, such as an updated tax bill or deed.

It is important to note that depending on the type of lease agreement, there may be an additional set of steps required before evicting a tenant. For example, if there is an option for early termination in your lease agreement, then you will have to give early termination notice before you can legally evict them. Always give a proper notice!

Your last paragraph is how it should be. it is always good to go the rightful and legal route when it comes to ejecting a tenant because a tenant that knows his right can sue you as well when it comes to stepping on their rights even when they are the ones owing you. The law still recognizes the tenant rights and it is only the orders of the court that supersede any other action. if you take the laws into your hands in whatever in any way , you would be surprised at the outcome of it when the tenant decides to sue you too.

So the right routes must be followed. Try and give a tenant you want to leave your house a notice to quit and if doesn't fly then you can get the orders of the court to make it happen. Nobody can sue you for that.

As a landlord or a real estate agent , there are ways in which you can evict a tenant that's giving you problem or causing nuisance by refusing to vacate the house ,
The first process as the landlord is to give out a quit notice of eviction after you might have talked to him Or her concerning the attitudes, I think the quit notice should have at least three months giving to the tenants to vacate the premises if you are not owing the tenants any money , but if you are owing the tenant, then you must refund the money when you gives the quit notice.

Secondly using the court of law to serve the tenant quit notice or the court will invite him after he decided not to leave the house is another way of evicting the tenant.
And also as a landlord, You must have the neccesary document proofing and showing that you are the right owner of the house.
