Answer

If you do not have a court order you should not be self evicting the tenant and you could be held liable for damages if you do so. You need to go through the proper eviction process and get an order of eviction from the court and if she refuses to comply, then you need a writ of possession to take your property back and have the sheriff come and move her out forcibly. You cannot just change the locks or move her out without court orders.

After you have the appropriate orders, then she would be liable for moving expenses if you have to move her things and any storage expenses. The SD cannot be held just for routine cleaning or normal wear and tear unless your lease specifies it can be.
