You should start the eviction process. The tenant has no right to withhold rent. They must take you to court if they want paid for those repairs they did. They will have to PROVE that you authorized them to make the repairs. This may all come out in your eviction process once you get into court.

Starting today, use only texts, emails, letters, or phone recordings you have with your tenants. Do you have any of those things from any of your previous conversations ? If not, then they probably don't have anything like that, either. Those things are PROOF one way or the other of what was said, and they would have to present that proof to a judge.
