If there IS a lease but it says nothing about the number of occupants permissible in the unit then you're pretty much stuck.
If you're going to be in the property management business you should google, "(your state) landlord tenant laws" and read them until your eyes hurt and your brain swells. Good luck.

Hard to tell, but I read the OP to mean that the "tenant" (b/f) has a lease but the g/f doesn't. It's entirely possible that the "tenant" doesn't have a lease; it's not unusual for someone to move in with a 12-month lease and then remain upon expiration of the lease, at which point the tenancy becomes month-to-month without a current lease.
