My father in laws health has quickly gone downhill over the last year. It is on the mend now, but I foresee my wife and I moving back to the area, or possibly in with them.

Does anyone have any idea how much of an issue it is going to be, to get the suite back?
The rules of the Residential Tenancy Act would still apply, even if there is no written agreement. Based on your description, it's a month-to-month lease, and if your family wants to move into the suite, a two-month eviction notice would apply.
