When can you evict a missbehaving tenant?

Hello. I'm sorry that I write to you in English but my Swedish is not very good. My name is A and together with my husband, we own an apartment in Malmö. In July, 2020, we both move to Stockholm and we rented the apartment to one couple. We had informed the building association and we signed the contract with them. Everything was good until a few weeks ago when the association informed us that our tenants have broken the rules and they have to leave the apartment as soon as possible. Here it is the email that we received from them: “Thanks for getting back to us. We cannot under any circumstances accept this kind of behaviour in our buildings and since they are only renting from you, you have to get them to leave the apartment. Like I told you on the phone yesterday, there has been smoking, drinking and according to other members in the building also substance abuse. Either way, smoking is absolutely prohibited and is a serious security problem to all of us." The tenants do not admit any of this and they do not want to leave the apartment. According to the contract we have a two months notice period and we have informed them about this on the 10th of May. The contract is now invalid since they had broken so many rules and not even pay the rent on the due date which is the 28th before the beginning of each month. We don't know how to proceed further and we have called the police but they said that we should contact you first for advice. Thank you.
