Tenant in jail longterm

I could use ideas. Here's the situation: we have a rental house on a month-to-month lease. Both parties - boyfriend/girlfriend - signed the lease. Girlfriend just called to say that her boyfriend is in jail - probably longterm. She is locked out of the house and would like to get back in to get her stuff out. June rent has been paid, amazingly.

We don't have a problem letting the girlfriend back in to get her things out since she's on the lease. She doesn't want to get her boyfriend's stuff out, partly because there's a lot and it's too heavy for her.

Question: Is there anything legally we can do before the end of June, since the rent is paid, to begin to empty the house? Do we have to go through an eviction process?

Thanks for any ideas. This is something new for us. Not sure how to approach it.
