No, because you do not have a written lease. You need to evict them NOW. Do not wait. If they leave the equipment, then you might have a shot at selling it.

Not necessarily..you must evict them and get a money judgment then attach? the equipment as it is their asset.

See an attorney, what you have done is obviously quite foolish and should have been in writing. Whether or not you will be able to recover will depend on the details. Generally, you will not be able to lien their property unless you get a judgment in your favor first.
