Here is a different idea, although it may not be ideal.

I don't see any reason why the OP cannot issue this guy a 3 month notice and kick his a$$ out. Even when there is no written contract anymore, the landlord can still exercise the right to evict a tenant, given enough notice.

The slightly troublesome bit is what happens afterwards, because the landlord is not allowed (by law) to kick a current tenant out and find a new replacement. If I am understanding the OP correctly, the tenant is currently living in the basement while the OP and his mom are living on the main floor. But if the OP and his mom are willing to move into the basement, and rent out the main floor, then voila~ Problem solved!

Obviously, this is not exactly ideal. One minor saving grace is, rent for the main floor is almost certainly going to be higher than rent for the basement. But then you aren't violating any RTA terms, and you don't need to cough up $$$ to do any major renovations, and you can still kick the guy out.
