What can my daughter do to have her ex-boyfriend removed from her house?

Full question:

My daughter is trying to remove her live-in from her home. He was on the first year lease but not on the second year. She has two children by him, he pays nothing towards anything, rent, utilities, food, etc. He uses drugs and has been arrested for visiting a common, no driver license (he still drives my daughter's car). He has no job and can only keep one long enough to buy his crack. He has abused her and my granddaughter which is not his because she is having difficulties with him, (she's eight). She has ask him to leave but he laughs and tells her there is nothing she can do to have him evicted. What, if anything can be done to remove this piece of trash from her household short of me going to jail. What are her options to get him out of her house?

Sec. 6. If a tenant refuses or neglects to pay rent when due, a landlord may terminate the lease with not less than ten (10) days notice to the tenant unless:

(1) the parties otherwise agreed; or

(2) the tenant pays the rent in full before the notice period expires.
