thank you for guiding me through this. you are far more helpful then the RTO so far haha.
this guy has been renting for about 4 years now which was before my father passed away. I was probably 17 around that time so I'm still trying to figure out everything that was agreed upon back then. but yes, it is definitely my parties fault because of the weak agreement we have with him. but he hasn't been acting up until this year.

our relationship with him isn't so great right now as he only speaks to my mother when I'm not around and she has pretty poor English with a side of short temper. he's a construction worker and he puts a lot of tools in our garage (connected to his suite) and we need the space as we are shifting things around the house. he demanded that we let him build a shed in our backyard but we refused so he threw a tantrum. hopefully we can use this as a barter to get him to sign a new tenancy agreement.

the problem with the above is that again, the previous agreement was all verbal, when I called RTO they said that technically he has no boundaries on our property if there was no written agreement which confuses me as the garage is our property.

am I also allowed to ask him to stop smoking on our property? I don't mind if he does if we renew the agreement as he only does so in the back yard or porch area.
