Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in Connecticut

i am renting a room within my house to a woman for only two months. i found out that she is a recovering alaholic and went though all my things in my house while I was out. She got drunk on a bottle of voka that she found way up in a cabinet of my kitchen She invited a friend over and blames her friend for finding the voka. She started to text me and became very abusive in texts and then verbally when I got back next morning. I want her out of my house. She has only been living there for 6 days. i told her she has to leave and I will return her money. She refuses to leave. My concern is the longer she stays the harder it will be to get her out. The two month agreement is only a trial period though she is already talking about having her daughter stay when visiting from Prep school. I tried to reason with her that it's not working for both of us. Is there a grace period where she I get her to leave without having to go through a legal battle?

i live in the state of CT

Unfortunately, in the eyes of the law, that woman is your tenant and you will be required to go through the entire eviction/ summary process. This is something my office handles regularly. I do have some alternate ideas with you that may be worth discussing. However, I would prefer to discuss this with you in person or at least over the phone.
