    OP, don't waste time on Boards. Get proper legal advice ASAP.

    The gf's brother has labeled you as the landlord, and him as the collector of rent. If anything goes sideways, the gf's brother will probably let you hang for it.

    Oh, and consider did he tell you about the tenants, or did you only find out when you got there? If the latter, I'd wonder what else he hasn't told you?

    Years ago while I was living in the US, I allowed my best friend's adult son to stay in my apartment while I was away on a six-week business trip because he was getting kicked out of his college apartment "for not being able to pay the rent" and I wanted someone around the place.

    While I was away, he stole my checkbook and wrote checks to himself (which is how they knew it was him), stole a legally owned handgun that I had hidden in the very bottom of a large moving box full to the top of sewing fabric, invited his druggie friends over to do crystal meth and party in my apartment, left the place filthy, and half-starved my poor cats. The police said there was nothing they could do about anything but the check fraud (even about the stolen gun) because I had let him stay voluntarily. It turned out that he had been kicked out of his own apartment for dealing drugs.

    It cost me five hundred dollars to clean and repair the apartment, three hundred dollars in stolen money and the hassle of dealing with my bank, a four hundred dollar handgun, several hundred dollars of other stolen articles, three thousand dollars in vet bills, and a best friend by the time everything was back to normal.

    Far too many issues for the OP here, not to mention being taken by a fool by the GF's brother.

    Kick them all out would be my advice at this stage TBH and start over with a proper LL/Tenant arrangement if you want someone in the place.
