Tenant signed lease and someone else moved in

So my boyfriend has a duplex and had a lease signed a couple months ago. 

We’ve noticed the person that signed the lease does not seem to be the one living there- it seems to be other people. 

This person is paying rent early so far, but obviously don’t want to keep this going. We don’t know how to proceed without eviction, so any alternatives or thoughts are welcome. Thanks!

    You/your boyfriend, or whomever is managing the property should speak with the occupant and find out what the situation is. Honest, direct communication is needed to clarify what’s going on. Once you know the deal, you can refer to the lease( the signed contract) and proceed accordingly. Good luck!
