Post a notice to enter 24hrs in advance that you intend to enter for a safety check of every outlet and lighting fixture. Explain that it is required by the insurance. Follow up with a verbal notice. When ask what time you will come, say you are not sure, maybe in the evening. Go when you expect everyone to be gone or at least a reduced occupancy. Look for the unauthorized occupant's clothes in the closet when you look for that stain on the floor you want to repair. If someone is there, ask whose clothes they are. Tell the tenants that the occupant is staying there too often to be considered a visitor and he has to move out or the whole bunch will face an eviction.
