Tenant eviction during Covid Question?

[Mitchell Miracle]

My friend has a tenant that was informed in writing two months ago that when their lease was up it would not be renewed.  The lease is up May 31st but the tenant is stating that due to Covid they do not have to go.  They have not paid rent for two months.  My friend wants to sell the property due to cancer treatments and lack of desire to own the property any longer.  My question is this:  Because the lease is up is this actually an eviction?  The tenant has no rights to stay since the lease is up.  Does the tenant actually have any rights under the Covid eviction rules since technically they are no longer legally the tenant based on the lease?  Any help would be appreciated.
