Hello, I rent a house with 4 other people. One of them and myself lease directly from the landlord. The other 3 sub-lease from the two of us. My question is can my roommate who is on the lease with me and I evict someone who is subleasing from us? They do have a lease with us as their "landlord."

Does it depend on the provisions laid out in the lease? How specific do the terms have to be? This would be an eviction due to general lack of cooperation/incompatibility. Can we evict with notice?

The lease is up for renewal, and the tenant has been more cooperative lately, because he heard we might not renew him. We're afraid if we renew, the tenant in question might revert back to old behavior thinking we can't make him leave now that he's signed.

To be clear, the three household members sub-leasing from us have no direct link with the landlord, but do have a written lease with us. Please advise. I am in NJ.
