if the tenant has a lease or on a month to month and his/her posessions are on the premises, yes, the tenant has to pay the rent, if something happened in the unit due to a domestic dispute with a room mate or landlord, then you may have to go to court to have it settled.

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.

Is it legal for a tenant to keep hallway lights out in an apartment building?

If the hallway light is controlled by the tenant, i.e., the tenant pays the electric bill which controls that light, then the tenant has every right to keep that light on or off as he wishes. If you live in an interior apartment building, the common hallway lighting of it should be controlled by the apartment complex, not by the tenant.
