start with a paper trail stating he's late on rent.
"-Payment of rent is due on the 1st of the month…every month regardless of Sundays, weekends, holidays, bank holidays, or any other excuse a tenant will use. It rent is not paid by 12:01am on the 2nd, it is late. You can issue this notice that will give the tenant 5 days to pay:
http://www.rto.gov.bc.ca/documents/RTB-30.pdf. If they have not paid or filed to fight the notice within those 5 day, they will be forced to move."

Another thing you may not know (which can be found if you read into the RTA) the tenant needs to sign off agreeing to let you keep the damage deposit, and the tenant needs to give you a forwarding address if they even want the damage deposit back. And in case you don't read the RTA in time, there's a deadline as to when damage deposits need to be returned......it's 10 business days or else they can ask for double the money back.
