Tenants bank account frozen

Should I start the eviction.  Here is the quick story.  I have had this tenant, single male, for 2 years and he lived there 3 years prior to my ownership.  He has mostly paid on time.  I made one exception and he has paid 1 late fee.  1 year ago he was hospitalized for a few weeks with serious medical problems.  His story now is he went back into the hospital (which I believe) and that while he was in there his bank accounts where fraudulently withdrawn and they are all frozen for 2 to 3 weeks.  Why would a bank FREEZE your account?  I tend not to believe for fraud....more like creditors, irs, ect.  He asked for a free months rent which I said no.  I told him I would give him until next month and he will have to pay 2 months rent but I will wave the late fees. 

Should I start the eviction?  I don't want to piss him off in the face of his medical problems.....but I don't do this for charity. 

Thoughts?
