My dh's old house

Before I met dh he lived with his dps. They split and he bought their house so mil could pay off her debts. I think he got it cheaper than value due to her wanting the cash quick and him not having a big deposit.
When we met and married dh moved to my area. Verbal agreement his dps could live in the house. Divorced but still friends.

We went nc about 5 years ago but let them stay in the house. Dh blocked all ways of contact as he was getting nasty emails from mil's friends!!
They have no contract /tenancy and pay just enough to cover mortgage payment. Dh upped the amount when his payment went up in Jan.
Email today in Spam somehow saying they want a proper tenancy as have spent nearly 6k on the house and a reminder (?!) fil still owns a share even if he isn't on the deeds (wtaf?)
Awaiting a solicitor's call but dh is in bits.
As they have no contract /tenancy can he give them notice to quit?
Any ideas legal folk??.
Regards.

Even though there is no written tenancy agreement there is a valid tenancy with all the legal rights and obligations that go with that. He can give them notice to quit but there are some conditions he needs to comply with for that to be valid. His solicitor will be able to advise.
