Review your lease and notify her, if appropriate, under her lease that she needs to remove the subtenant or risk being evicted. If she does not remove him, you can notify her of the termination of the lease based on her violation, assuming your lease allows for that remedy. You would need to give statutory notice of the termination of the lease. Seek some legal guidance with your actual paperwork.
