If the tenants have people living there who aren't on the lease/ aren't approved co-tenants, then you should send them a Notice to Cure or Quit (or equivalent notice for your area). You'll probably have to evict them and start over with new tenants, next time setting proper expectations about how many people can live there, how long guests can stay, etc. Hopefully it's all very clear in your lease and you can let them know they are violating the lease and need to fix the situation or face eviction.
