Roommate laws, same as other tenants?

I currently have roommates "with privacy."  They basically occupy two bedrooms with a bath in between, one of the rooms converted into a modest kitchenette.  We have a door between our "units".  I set up a lease (similar to what we used for a separate house rental) while I was married and am now divorced with 2 young children.  I am realizing how lucky I am to have the tenants I do after hearing so many horror stories.  Obviously it's bad news with any rental situation but I believe it could be much worse if you share the same home.  In any case, once they leave, likely next spring, I want to make sure I am protecting myself as much as possible.  In the case of non-payment, breaking rules, etc., do I have to follow the same eviction proceedings as with any other tenant or can I just kick someone out?  I am not sure if it's wise to continue renting out at all considering my family situation, unsure as to whether the income is worth the potential hassle.  I welcome any and all advice and shared experiences!
