Is it legal to evict someone for mental reasons?

Does the landlord have mental reasons or does the tenant? It's against the law for a landlord to discriminate on the basis of disability, inter alia. So a landlord can't evict someone just because he has a mental illness or disability. However if the tenant damages any property, whether it is for reasons related to the illess, he can evict.

Can a landlord evict someone living on their property when they haven't signed a lease?

I am presuming we have three components here: a landlord, a tenant, and a subtenant. The landlord in this case is presumably renting to a tenant, while the tenant is presumably renting to a subtenant. I presume that tenant has a lease while the subtenant doesn't. The tenant becomes the landlord for the subtenant. Since there is no lease (in most states subletting does not involve a lease) in this case, the tenant who is the subtenant landlord can evict the subtenant. While the main landlord can evict the tenant -which automatically evicts the subtenant -only the tenant can evict the subtenant. But the main landlord can evict all by evicting the tenant.
