Can landlord kick out adults who are not on the lease?

The landlord says: ‘I know that I am not allowed to discriminate based on familial status. Will I be guilty of discrimination if I take action to remove these strangers?’

Question: I am leasing a house to a family. I thought there were just two parents and two children, but when I was in the house fixing the stove recently I saw two other adults living there. I have no idea who they are. My lease precludes the signatory tenants from allowing any other adults to live in the property who are not on the lease, but I have been uncertain about whether I can take action. I know that I am not allowed to discriminate based on familial status. Will I be guilty of discrimination if I take action to remove these strangers?
