In order to evict a commercial tenant, they have to had broke a rule in the contract. If they have done that, the owner has to file for eviction in legal court, from there they will receive their notice to leave.

This is a complicated matter that will vary depending on your state's laws. You should not delay in speaking with a real estate attorney, who will likely recommend filing a lawsuit to evict or eject the tenant. Meanwhile, be careful not to take any action that could be considered constructive eviction (such as disconnecting the utilities or changing the locks) without first consulting with an attorney.

If the co-tenant is on the lease only the landlord can evict him. If the "co-tenant" is actually subleasing from the tenant then that tenant is the landlord and can evict the other tenant. The Senior tenant gives the violating tenant a notice

"30 day notice of tenancy expiration."

If the tenant does not go, the senior tenant goes to either small claims

court or landlord tenant court and seeks a WRIT of RESTITUTION.

(this is if the senior tenant is not seeking money from the junior tenant). If money

is sought, an UNLAWFUL DETAINER judgment is needed first. the WRIT

comes in 10 days if the junior tenant is still there.

Of course laws vary in different jurisdictions. You may need to visit your local housing court, a local landlord/tenant agency or consult with an attorney to determine what your rights are in your particular jurisdiction.

Whether a tenant is disabled does not have a bearing on whether he can be evicted. If a PHA has the right to evict a tenant then it can evict such person regardless of disability.

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.

Can a landlord evict a tenant for complaints of health issues with another tenant?

This depends on whether the tenant's frequent calling and complaining are justified. If the complaints are justified, the landlord may not evict the tenant because of such assertion of the tenant's legal rights. Such an intervention would be considered retaliatory and may entitle the defendant damages of up to three months rent abatement. However, if it is determined that these calls are frivolous, then landlord may evict the tenant.
