If 'X' is related to 'Y'; if 'X' has been paying the rent regularly, and if 'X' has all the rent receipts and other evidence of his stay at the property, then he is the deemed tenant and the land lord can not ask 'X' to vacate.

Good Luck,

Depends upon the conditions how X and Y are related ?

If landlord is able to prove that the property is sublet, it can be got vacated.
