Whether or not your landlord can evict your son from the unit he is sharing with you depends upon what the presumed written lease states. If there is a provision in it that states guests can only stay so long then your landlord could have a basis for having your son leave. The key to answering your question is to carefully read your presumed written lease. The answer to your question should be there.
