Inspection reveals huge amounts of belongings

Every inch of my 10-room house except the living/dining area is completely full of tenant belongings, such that it's verging on a hoard. 3 generations of a family (3 adults, 2 teens), are on the lease. BUT there's more than enough stuff for 10 or 12 people altho it's actually 3 legal bedrooms and one large bonus room in the basement that has heat & egress. They have a couple of those large portable zip front storage "closets". The closets in the legal bedrooms are so stuffed the sliding doors are jammed. The previous inspection I did in December, there was not nearly the huge amount of you-know-what.

Nothing impedes walking through which I just did. However, I found mail in the mailbox addressed to a person who is NOT on the lease. This happened before with a previous tenant, and it was a squatter moved in. If someone has mail delivered to an address, doesn't that mean they live there?

The lofted shed in back yard is also crammed. 

It looks to me on first glance that they are either 1) storing someone else's crap, or 2) squatters have moved in. 

I signed a 6 month lease with them which is expiring end of April. So far they paid on time and I never hear from them. All the systems are working. The kitchen is clean although every cabinet is crammed, and the bathrooms are more or less clean but almost every brand of beauty product is represented ...

Since this is/was a very pretty house which is renting to them about $200 under market (they have no animals), and I don't care if they stay or go, WWYD?
