This is not a landlord-tenant law issue, but a domestic one. The only thing the landlord can do is an eviction for "unauthorized occupant"...but that can only be filed against you.

His Rights?
He is a live-in friend, nothing more, and can be asked to leave.
If he refuses, then go to your local Court House, see those in the Court Clerk's Office, and they can guide you to the appropriate actions.
Best wishes.
