Yes. The tenant should be considered the landlord of the sub-tenant. Therefore, he can evict, just like any landlord.
Under what conditions can a landlord lock out a tenant?
Probably. A landlord has no right to enter without the tenant's permission, and being in the unit without the tenant present - even with the tenant's permission - is usually a bad idea. Therefore, if only the tenant has a key, the landlord is actually protecting himself from some liability. If the tenant changes the locks, he should save the original lockset, and put it back when he leaves.
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.
