Mentally unstable roommate in TN - Can I evict?

Four young women rent a home from us here in Tennessee. One of them has become verbally abusive and has had minor lease violations (letting her boyfriend have access to the house, letting a friend's dog come over). All 4 women signed the lease. 3 of them now feel unsafe with the 4th roommate. Can I evict her? They only have 3 months left on the lease but the ladies are not interested in continuing to life with the verbally abusive one for the remainder of the lease. If I want them to find a 4th roommate and stay, I need to evict the one. What are my options? I have never been in a similar situation. I really appreciate any insight you may have. I'm not sure how to proceed.

If she has threatened them or done anything physical. They should get a restraining order then she won't be able to live there. You could then release her from the lease and have the other three women sign a new lease, I'd start the term over again.
