I don't have kids, but based on what my parents and my friends' parents have done, I'd say the following is the solution:

Start charging her and make it enough that it's "market rates" for rented accomodation. Once there's no financial incentive to stay, she'll probably go. If she still claims not to be able to afford it, demand to see her bank statements/finances: If you're subsidising her in any way and she wants your help, you have every right to. Make your own judgement on whether or not she really can't afford it, or if she just "needs" more money for going out on the sauce or buying new shoes. If the former, work out a budget with her and take a slice of her earnings in rent. If you can afford to (from the sounds of it you're more concerned with her being in your house, rather than the finances of it), stick some, if not all of the money she's giving you in some form of savings account. After a couple of year, surprise her by putting down the deposit for her on her own place using the money you've saved from her rent.

Needless to say, if instead it turns out that she could afford to move out, don't hesitate in giving her a month's notice.
