 Contact a lawyer.  I think you are subject to similar (NOT the same) eviction 
laws or regulations as in the US..(.although different states have different 
regs.) After Googling the question I found, I think, that in Canada, some legal 
entity must approve an owner's eviction (or forcing the person to sell). You 
have to document behavior, making sure you understand what sorts of behavior 
legally constitute "disruptive". If the person has a diagnosed mental disorder, 
it's easier. Here's a link to a legal paper:

 Canada must have very different laws on home ownership than the US. HOAs
here are not empowered to remove someone from their home under any
circumstances. If the owners were violating the law, then one could call
the police (if the behavior a criminal) or sue (if it was civil) but only
the law could force someone out of their house -- and then only for
something pretty extreme.
