Tenant made basement and yard into storage?

Funny story here. So I got those tenants. Small family squeezed into a one bedroom apartment. they pay on time, always. after I moved out of the first apartment I allowed them access to the driveway and the washer in the basement (extra $40). It's six months later and... the space next to the garage which was EMPTY when I moved out is now full and looks like the county dump. they were allowed to park on the driveway NOT make it into a storage. plus what is there, is what otbers in town threw out. The tenant goes around and picks this stuff up (mostly used toys). The basement is no better. they got access to the washer, and now the wall in the basement is lined with their stuff. I gotta say they pay on time, are quiet, have kids and there is no storage in the apartment. they knew about the lack of storage when they rented the apartment. Plus I gotta say that the vibe I get from them is that they're entitled to "everything" because they pay rent. So have you ever delt with people like that? I'm gonna tell them to clean all this up. if they don't, it will be thrown out. I plan to give them a week. They act like they own the place. I have to say it is quite amusing yet annoying at the same time.
