Can a tenant evict another tenant on a property she doesn't own?

One of my roommates is trying to evict me for not cleaning my room. I am not on the lease and she is but i've paid one third of the rent every month for about 7 months out of a 1 year lease. I don't feel like the cleanliness of my personal space is a legitimate reason for eviction.

Who do you pay rent to? If it is her and you have been paying her for 7 months, than she is your LL, and she only needs to give you proper notice to vacate if you do not have a signed lease with HER.

She does not need a legal reason to evict you, simply proper notice. She cannot enter your room either.
