As someone who has been on the other end of this, please know that your relative is not intentionally being unbearable. It's so hard to deal with serious mental illness, and they are so lucky to have someone supportive in their family like you.
That being said...
Have you looked into your options? Is there a mental health facility that they can check into for a while to get regulated on medication and build up skills for living? If not, is there a place for them to stay?
For a person with mental illness, being 'abandoned' at crucial times can be a life-or-death matter. Whatever you do, make sure you have a plan, because you don't want anything bad on your conscience.
Be straight up with her. Let her know that you support her in her struggle to deal with schizophrenia, but that you have your own life to live and your own problems to deal with. Go over any possible options with her, and let her choose while being firm in stating that she cannot continue to stay with you.
Good luck!
Until she does move out, here's a great website for helping cope with the stress:

There is never a good way to tell someone you want them to move out and it's time to go.
However, I can understand that it must be very hard to deal with someone whom has schizophrenia you could possibly look into a group home in the area who might be able to take care of him/her better and you know they are always safe.

thats going to be very hard because other family members will be mad at you but you have to do whats best for you .i would speak to an elder in the family like a mother or an aunt first just to let them know that your not the bad guy here and then sit them down and tell them that things are not going as planned you would like them to leave be very sympathetic about it.wish you luck hoped i helped you.

The best way is to just find them another place to stay and tell them that you cant let them stay with you anymore but you have somewhere else they can stay.
