I took on a tenant in July of 2006 in Vancouver, Canda. Till august ,everything was fine.
He failed to pay me rent for September and October, so i served him a final notice to move out. In late October, I had to travel out of Canada for work. I am still overseas and coming back in January. It is told to me that the tenant has failed to move out of the house and it is already December, and there are no signs of him leaving (moving trucks etc).
He has not paid rent for 4 months. There is no action I can take on the ground since I am not in Vancouver. I contacted the tenancy board in November to resolve this issue and they were of no help, saying I give further notices. That hasnt helped either. This tenant has overstayed his welcome, not paid rent for 4 months,has harrassed me and is illegally squattting now.
-Do I have a police case against him since he is illegally squatting?
-How can i be rid of such a pest? I want him out ASAP

First off, yes you do have a legal say in this sitution. If you already gave him the legal paperwork for getting out then go to the police with this paperwork and explain what is going on. (or call in your circumstance) If that doesn't work. Then I'd suggest that you get a lawyer and see what they can do. There are free consultations by phone and you can call them to see which one will help ya out. But I would simply pack his clothes and all his stuff and put it out on the curb. If he likes it or not. You have that right to do that. Because you gave him all the notices for getting out and he left you no choice in the matter.
Good Luck!!

If the tenant is month to month you do not may provide a reason behind no longer renewing the lease. The 30 day observe could coincide with the lease due date. with reference to the locks, you may google landlord tenant guidelines on your state. in many cases a landord can't substitute locks till they legally have possession of the resources. realtor.sailor

Contact an attorney in Vancouver. Have him or her file for eviction in the local courts.
It's not a police matter. Don't waste your time there.
