You technically don't need to enforce a court's order. If you are concerned, however, you should evict the Tenant, but only if your lease allows you to evict for such reasons.

No. As long as they pay rent then the unit remains theirs. Otherwise., yes, you will have to evict.

Your question is vague. If you mean are you compelled to evict, no. If you want them out and there is a signed lease you can only evict for breach of the lease. If there is no signed lease you can evict them but cannot just toss them out you must do it legally in court.
