IANAL if you have the refusal to pay in writing (even text message) then surely it's a straightforward matter to evict them via section 8 notice, if you have kept up your end of the tenancy agreement, or section 21 and wait 2 months then court? Also, if you suspected that "Structural damage that requires urgent attention" had occurred, then you are able to enter the property to carry out inspections/repairs without notice (Housing Act 1988), otherwise you need to give them minimum of 24hrs notice.

As a landlord in the UK you have tons of power, while it's great you didn't abuse them, why you didn't exercise these legal rights when these people abused your property?

Let's just say I would have done things very differently if I knew then what I know now. I learned a LOT in the whole process. I was a lot more naive back then, and could have done a lot of things a lot better.
