I am renting a house, and my landlord told me I could sublet a room in it. The tenant paid for this month. She is having people spending the night, late traffic etc. I spoke to her several times with warnings. Can I tell her she has to move at the end of the month? That gives her a two week notice.

You can always try asking her to leave and see if she is willing to go ahead and move, but if she puts up any argument you will have to check the laws in your own state. The notice you have to give varies from state to state and also depends on whether you had a signed lease with your subletter. No one will really be able to answer your question without knowing what state you live in.

Usually in Landlord-Tenant Law, the landlord is required to give at least 24 hrs notice in order to be able to enter the premises, and it has to be a legitimate reason to enter, such as a repair that the tenant asked for. I do not remember off hand, my textbooks from my business law and ethics classes are at home at the moment, but I think there are provisions for when the landlord is selling the property. But this is all assuming that you have a lease between the two of you. Note that even if there is not a written lease, their may be an implied one depending on the terms discussed before she moved in. If this continues to be an issue, then you need to look up the local Landlord-Tenant Law or Code to see exactly what applies in your case. You should be able to find this with a relatively quick search of the Internet. Use key words like "Landlord-Tenant Law in (blank)" or the like. Just try to be as nice as you can with her. You only have one month left, and then you can show it as often as you like, You may want to sit down with her and discuss a time when she is readily available and is able to show the room. If she does not grant permission you could ask for a picture of the layout of the room to be taken in order to show the prospective buyers. This is hardly encroaching upon her, and would only take five minutes tops. you can then tell your interested buyers that you have a tenant that likes her privacy and wished to show the room in this way. Good luck.

You need to check with your state's statutes regarding "subletting" because most places don't allow subletting.
If you are the owner of a house and rent a room out and there's a contract, then you can evict in 3 days. You must provide them (hand it to them, or certified mail return receipt requested is better so you have a date on the green card that they received your notice to leave). If they don't move in 3 days you can file that eviction notice with the court and have the sheriff come and remove her.
In your contract with the subletter did you say to her the rules of no guests and late traffic? Did you say you would charge them for changing the locks when they moved or if they had to move?
The "only" thing I know for sure is you can't throw their things out of the house, and you can't cut off their utilities.

I think in most states the requirement is 30 days, unless the tenant is in violation of the rental agreement. But the law varies by state so you should google rental laws or tenant's rights for your state.

in most states it's a 30 day notice. Make sure you give her a notice on paper and make a copy for yourself, so she cant say that you never gave her a notice. Make sure you give her the notice with the details of why she is getting evicted. That should keep this as low key as possible without any court trials or anything like that.

Usually 30 days in writing.

Tell her she needs to be out by the end of March, but if she is willing to be out by the end of February, you will give her one week's rent rebate. She will then have a financial incentive to go early.

If her name is not on the lease she is technically trespassing.
You could force her to leave in 24 hours.
Ask the police to assist you.
