If you were to follow the Landlord Tenant Act of 1951 you would need first to give them a Notice to Quit. That would tell them they have to leave by a given date. If you don't do that the District Justice won't have jurisdiction to issue an order of possession. If they don't leave you file with the District Justice for an order of possession. Once that is granted they'll have 10 days to vacate or you can have the constable remove them.
