I have contacted an attorney for advice and was told to file an Unlawful Detainer lawsuit, but unfortunately, the moratorium is preventing us from exercising our legal rights to do so.

This was changed a few years ago.https://le.utah.gov/xcode/Title78B/Chapter6/78B-6-S802.htmlA tenant holding real property for a term less than life is guilty of an unlawful detainer if the tenant...continues in possession of the property in person or by subtenant after the end of any month or period, in cases where the owner, the owner's designated agent, or any successor in estate of the owner, 15 calendar days or more before the end of that month or period, has served notice requiring the tenant to quit the premises at the expiration of that month or period...

But an eviction means they refused to and they forced another landlord to sue and go through an unlawful detainer action to recover possession of the property.

And that I need to file an unlawful detainer I argue with them I told them that I lived on the property that the person what's a lodger who is unwanted never had a rental agreement never paid rent I refuse to leave and I also explained.

@Tiffany M. in our area if you file for anything outside of non-payment the court has proceeded w/ the forcible detainer (eviction). 

If they don't leave, then you file for unlawful detainer (eviction action)You can pursue them for damages and unpaid rent no matter which method you choose.

Gavin Newsom late Monday signed the COVID-19 Tenant Relief Act of 2020, legislation that prohibits the eviction of renters with genuine COVID-related hardships but reopens the unlawful-detainer process for tenants who cause problems at the property.This new law isn’t ideal, but it’s quite a bit better than the other bill that was being considered (AB1436), which was dubbed the “free rent” bill.

However, the same clause prevents a defaulting party from maliciously and unlawfully detaining the property under the guise of having an “equitable interest (‘claim of equity’)” in it in order to forestall eviction, buy time and free rent.
