It would have to in some way I think, either they're a tenant or they're there illegally.
Sounded to me like the landlord delegated to the OP to handle it, so the question would be who the landlord is I guess.
But the law would still have to apply, otherwise the property owner wouldn't have the ability to get rid of the person if they were causing problems (destroying the property, making noise and disturbing other tenants, etc).
Though I guess the actual signed tenant would be responsible for that, so you could be right.
That's why I don't allow any adult to live in my units unless I approve them and they're listed on the rental agreement. Roommates are fine, but they have to go through the application process. The situation the OP describes is too fuzzy.
