What to do if an Airbnb or a VRBO tenant decides not to leave

Hi everyone, I recently started renting my property on VRBO and Airbnb. I was wondering what happens if the tenant decides not to leave after he’s supposed to? If they just stay in the unit? I currently have someone in that’s starting to act weird so wanted to consult here. VRBO basically leaves you hanging in that situation, they said call the police it’s trespassing, but I’m not sure, because it wouldn’t work like that for long term tenants and this seems even worse because there is no lease and I don’t have any of their info. I appreciate any help. Thank you!

I require a photo I'D after some one books.

They electronically sign your rental agreement on HA/VRBO so that is an agreement. 

I agree if they overstay they are trespassing call the police. Tell them the police will be arriving to arrest them. I bet they head out quick.
