Sorry I thought you'd meant they were already there, rather than them moving in during the tenancy.
As mentioned the RTDRS is going to be cheaper than court, and is just as binding. It's also simpler, you basically prepare all the information you have, you go into a room with the other party (if they show up) and a mediator and you each get to tell your side of the story and what you want.
Or that's the idea anyway, in my case the tenant used up almost the entire time and the mediator gave me almost no time. Still ruled mostly in my favour because the tenant was a crazy lady.
Anyway the mediator will hear both sides, ask some questions, and if I remember correctly may make a decision right there. EDIT: And your landlord sounds sketchy enough they might not even show up.
