I would drag her outside and lock the door, end of story.
The answer is to have good boundaries in the first place. That's the secret. You just don't invite dysfunctional bullshit into your house. "No you can't stay here but I will help with a hotel room". If you're close with this person you already know them, and if not you don't owe them.
Rights are an expectation to be treated a certain way, are things granted by the state, and often defy common sense.
I deal with this a lot with nursing homes wanting to dump bad citizens on us or landlords wanting the schizophrenic tenet out. "They can't come back here, we're scared". Well, they live there, you don't, it you're afraid then this isn't the business for you, do accounting. I don't care if you feel safe in the face of making my demented senior homeless.
Most landlords can abuse mentally ill people and there is nothing to be done about it because most mentally ill people don't have a me as a pitibull watching out for them.
Remember if your guests stay too long they cease being guests and just become residents. Most states 30 days. Smart nursing homes will dump their seniors on us at day 29 After 29 days of skilled rehab out of their 30 days allowable per medicare, which pays about 1k per day reimbursable. After that period it's like ~300 a day for long term care and they want someone profitable in their bed so they create a crisis, send to ER, and pretend they don't know them while their children are trying to figure out where their parents are.
