Tenant has sub let and made alterations - can i remove ?
Discussion
I have a tenant in my commercial unit and the relationship is very bad, to cut a long story short, we were partners until I returned from a trip and found the company no longer belonged to me and I wasn't allowed to enter my own building.
I have since moved on and the tenant remains within my building, they pay rent on time every month.
The problem now is that they have sublet the building to another company they part own and have made significant alterations to the building, including fitting vehicle ramps and have changed the usage of the building from a technical side to a mechanical side.
The building was always perfect when I owned and worked there and now it is becoming like any garage type business.
My lease confirms that they can NOT make changes without my permission and they can NOT sublet.
My question is, can I simply give them notice to vacate ?
I really just want them out now as each month something new seems to be an issue but the whole thing is driving both me and my wife crazy, we just want shut of these issues.

The workshop does have the ability to be used as full motor trade but the reality is that I just want them out. There are far more issues than I've posted here and has gone personal but I let it be until they blatantly violated the contract which is how they have operated for several years now.
It isn't really in our interest to remove them as we initially bought the unit as a pension fund but the stress of still being in contact with these people makes us physically sick. My wife just said sell the place and get them out of our life but if we can remove them legally and then rent it would be a better option.
We don't need the money, it's not about that and we rent the unit out at around a quarter of the current market value.
Basically I was in business with the guy. We separated and I allowed them to continue there. The relationship has turned sour and I want rid and I just wanted to know if these breaches of he contract were enough to legally remove them and move on with my life.
