If a tenant defaults on a lease (e.g., failure to pay rent on time, damage to the premises, keeping a pet when it is not part of the lease, etc. ) then the lessor can evict the tenant. At that point, the lessor can demand the full balance of the lease be paid immediately.Enforceability varies from state to state. You should see a lawyer specializing in landlord/tenant law if you are caught in this situation.Avoid any lease that has what appears to be an "Acceleration" clause.

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.
