Theoretically, you can, but you would need to go through the Court system. Was there an agreement that she would pay rent or something similar? If yes, then she would be considered a tenant and you would need to give her written notice to vacate.

Assuming this is in the state of MD, you are dealing with a holdover situation. A written lease agreement isn't required for a rental agreement, it's just a good idea. If you were accepting money from this person in exchange for a place to stay, the person becomes a Tenant.
