If he is employed he should do his best to at least give you some of what he owes. In situations like this you need to be heartless, your own survival depends on it.

Sorry, but this tenant sounds lazy and lame.
If I were truly unable to make rent and wasn't planning to get kicked out, I'd be doing things like cleaning the fuck out of the house, trying to make myself useful. I would be very clear with the landlord about the kind of money I'm making and my hopes to make more in the near future. And, perhaps most importantly, I'd be paying what I could. Without that, this fellow is just digging himself into a hole he has no means to climb out of.
Give him a couple week's notice. Put your expectations in writing. Then get ready to cut ties.

It sucks, if the guy can't pay me rent now, how the hell will be able to make the first and last elsewhere? Essentially, he'll be living on the street.
Business has no soul. I can't afford not to get the rent. I feel like the rich guy making the poor guy's life shittier. Even though I'm far from rich.
It's nothing personal, it's just business... yeah well, I'm not a robot. It sucks even though he owes me.

WTF? Why would you feel even remotely bad about looking out for your interests?

You have given him plenty of time.
Maybe he owns something you would like to have, or something he could pawn?

You shouldn't feel bad about it dude. It will make him straighten up. If he is jobless and can't support himself don't let him leech off of you. I like hippies, but not hippies that don't have their shit together.

No. He made his life harder. You're just not allowing him to make yours harder.

I know where he is coming from though. I used to give people free weed if I got along with them. Even if he takes it personal at first he will realize you are a good person, you just cant afford to pay his living expenses.

Ive been in this same situation a couple times. It really sucks, but I had to kick a family out because the mom was just so bat-shit insane and couldn't afford to pay me. They had a 3 kids but seriously, they could afford cable and to send one of their kids to college, but they cant pay their rent??

Today In the city there was these 4 little black kids with an adult and they were asking for money for their football team. I gave one of the boys a 20 and his face lit up. He took the 20 and goes "SWERVEEEEEE" and ran to show his friends.
