Can landlord sue original tenant if sub tenant completes lease?
It depends. If the sub-tenant was there by right and the landlord allowed a sub-lease, then that's a situation where nothing has gone wrong. If the landlord is suing, it sounds instead like the tenant did not have the right to sublet and in that case they are responsible to complete the lease and the sub-tenant may not have had the right to be there.

Can you specify in a will that property held as joint tenant with right of survivorship is bequeathed to a beneficiary in Vermont?
The answer is no. Property owned with another person as joint tenants with the right of survivorship passes automatically to the co-owner when you die. You cannot bequeath your interest in that property in your will. It does not become part of your estate.
How can you ask non tenant to move out?
If the person has the legal right to live there on a month-to-month basis, he is a tenant. But we are presuming that you, the landlord, didn't rent the unit out to this person: perhaps your tenant did, known as subleasing. If you, the landlord, allowed this, then you have to have your tenant evict the sub-tenant. If you didn't allow this, then you have to enforce the terms of the lease, and make your tenant correct this problem immediately or you can evict him, which automatically forces the sub-tenant out.
Is it illegal to change the locks of a rental property without notifying the tenant?
I can only answer for Massachusetts, but I think you can. The landlord has a right of entry, but he should get the permission of tenant, and the tenant has a right to be there at the time. If the landlord needs to get in during an emergency, perhaps he should be calling the police.
