need to vent ( nothing to do with fitness/health )

You are definitely not wrong in your feelings. I was in the same boat. My aunt, her boyfriend and their daughter moved in with us for 9 months. They were only supposed to stay for 2 months. While they were here, they trashed our camping trailer (nothing left but the steel frame now), refused to clean up after themselves, helped themselves to our food and didn't replace it, and let their dogs destroy our yard. They were supposed to pay 650 dollars in rent but only paid 150 a month. They also had the audacity tell us everything we cooked was disgusting. We lost our new van and had our power got turned off repeatedly. Remember that Karma is a *****.They will get what they deserve for mistreating you that way.

Emotions about the situation aside....

What could they do to make it up to you? Or what could possibly make you feel better about having to interact with them again in the future?

I'm very direct with people most of the time. I would straight-up tell one or both of them that I felt really disrespected when they left their things behind and by some of the things they did when they stayed there. I'd tell them I love them and don't want animosity, but they needed to know how I felt. From there they could apologize - and I'd squash it. Or they might not apologize, but at least they'd know why I'm going to take the actions I will take in the future with them.
