You're a good man who grew up in a family of jerks. I'm thinking going NC with the lot of them would be a blessing for you as well as your wife.
You should check out the tenancy laws in your area. You may be in legal trouble if they sue you because you didn't go through the courts to dispossess them as well as the unrealistically short deadline for them to vacate the property. Don't get me wrong. I know you're absolutely entitled on moral grounds to dispossess them. I just don't want you to face legal complications over it and wind up being forced to wait even longer before you can claim your property.
If you're accurately reporting the amount of time you expected them to spend on chores, NTJ. (I admit to skepticism, but yours is the only report here.) You are absolutely not TJ for expecting your daughter to arrange her own pet care instead of leaving you as the everyday default. On the other hand, you are massively TJ for expecting your older daughter to pick up younger siblings EVERY DAY after school. You effectively banned her from spending time hanging out with her friends at the time they were most likely to gather AND caused her to miss out on extra-curricular activities she could have used for personal development and to burnish her college applications.
MIL is a narcissist. By definition, she feels entitled to manipulate/force people to act according to her whims without respect for their own needs (e.g., forcing you to waste time, money, and energy accommodating a non-existent allergy). She'll never see that she's in the wrong if the universal negative family reaction to her nonsense didn't give her a clue. Don't apologize for the sake of keeping the peace unless you think continuing a relationship with her is in YOUR best interest.
