Yes they can. But it cannot be enforced in that manner. To evict you, the landlord must follow proper written procedures. Sure, a landlord can call you by telephone and ask you to leave. But it's up to the tenant to decide whether to move out or to stay and let the landlord force you to move out. But the telephone notice is not official and cannot be enforced. I.e., your landlord cannot state in a court argument that he called you by telephone and asked you to leave.

Can a landlord evict before the lease is up and not give you a reason?

To evict, he needs a reason.


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.

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.
