I don't remember the specifics of the RTA, but I agree with 320icar that if he refuses to sign a new contract, and you have given him the appropriate eviction notice (3 months?), I see no reasonable grounds on how he can possibly protest. The most important thing is, keep track of all your paper work, and date everything. Date the notice to have him sign the new contract, and be sure to include a term on how long that new rental agreement is (3 months? 6 months?). While you are at it, if you haven't increased his rent in the past 12 months, throw that maximum allowed amount in for good measure. By the RTA, as long as you keep the rent increase to that maximum allowed percentage, he cannot say no to the rent hike -- the only option he has is to move out.

In your official notice, also indicate to him that he must sign the new rental contract by a certain date. If he does not comply, tell him he is forfeiting his tenancy and will need to move out by a certain date (3 months?).

Again, date everything to protect yourself.

Gosh... I hate dealing with troublesome tenants...
