Depressed renter

We have a 2 unit building that we have lived in for 10 years.  The renter lived there before we bought it.  It was/is our first place, the renter was clean and worked a stable blue collar job, and it was easy to keep him.  About three years in, he had some money troubles and fell behind on rent, but then pulled himself up and squared up.  Since then, it's been ok.  A few months ago, he had some health problems but more so, he was very depressed and having a hard time getting himself to go to work. He is back now but I think it is only a matter of time until things go south.

I want him out but I'm seriously concerned that he might hurt himself or worse.  He is super fragile and is not able to handle life.  How would you deal with the eviction?

So he's been your tenant for 10 years and he's always paid? I would keep him. He needs motivation, not a kick while down, if he was not paying then I could understand wanting him out.
