Yes. The tenant should be considered the landlord of the sub-tenant. Therefore, he can evict, just like any landlord.

Can landlord sue original tenant if sub tenant completes lease?

It depends. If the sub-tenant was there by right and the landlord allowed a sub-lease, then that's a situation where nothing has gone wrong. If the landlord is suing, it sounds instead like the tenant did not have the right to sublet and in that case they are responsible to complete the lease and the sub-tenant may not have had the right to be there.

How can you ask non tenant to move out?

If the person has the legal right to live there on a month-to-month basis, he is a tenant. But we are presuming that you, the landlord, didn't rent the unit out to this person: perhaps your tenant did, known as subleasing. If you, the landlord, allowed this, then you have to have your tenant evict the sub-tenant. If you didn't allow this, then you have to enforce the terms of the lease, and make your tenant correct this problem immediately or you can evict him, which automatically forces the sub-tenant out.


Can a landlord lock out a sub-lesser out of their apartment?

If you sub-lease a unit, then the tenant that leases to you is considered your Landlord. Their landlord is NOT the sub-lessee's landlord. The master landlord, who usually does not allow subleasing, is not bound by the Landlord/Tenant Act toward the sub-lessee. So if they kick out your sub-landlord, they are kicking out EVERYONE. The master landlord cannot lock out his tenant unless they legally evict that tenant. Since a sub-lessee doesn't have the same rights, then they too are locked out.

Not granted permission to sublet can you sue for back rent?

You cannot sue for back rent to a tenant who has sublet in the apartment, when you the landlord did not give permission for that to happen in the first place. You have the right to evict the tenant or to force the tenant not to sublet the apartment. You could write into the lease that if you tenant does sublet, a fee can be charged for every month the subletting occurs, until the subletting ends.
