Then he or she has broken the law. Contact the police or an attorney. A lease is a legal contract and someone other than you signing your name is committing a crime.

What does a landlord have to pay to move you out if he wants to move back in?

Nothing. The landlord need only give you the notice required by law (20 days in WA) and then simply move back in. The exception is if you have a lease--in that case, the landlord must honor the term of the lease unless the landlord and tenant mutually agree to break the lease. In that case, the tenant is free to demand compensation of the landlord for the landlord's breaking the lease.
