Can I evict my tenant's subtenant?

[Pahoua Carns]

My tenant (a friend) has moved in another family (not in our agreement) into my property. My tenant now wants his tenants to leave. Can i evict them? Or does my tenant have to evict them? 

Also, this other family has 2 inoperable vehicles on my property. Can i have them towed? Can someone point me to an attorney to help me understand my rights? 

Thank you.

Evictions are all or nothing.  You don't evict some of the residents and not others.  Your tenant is the issue here.  He or she violated your lease when they allowed the family to move in.  This is a good reason to avoid mixing business and pleasure.  Your "friend" made an agreement with you then violated it.  And in a very serious way.  To me, that ends the friendship and now you can focus on business.   Evict them all.

No, you cannot just tow the inoperable vehicles.  That would be a "self help eviction" and would make a bad situation worse.

Sorry, I have no references for an attorney in your area.  You need one.  Try contacting your state bar association and see if they have lists of attorneys by specialty.  Sometimes these are online.  Or look for an apartment owners or landlords association in your area.
