Either accept the person as he is, or ask him to move out.
If you read the previous posts, you'd understand that he's not just a person who is paying for a place to stay. He is my friend, and my concern for his happiness does not make me codependent; it makes me human. I am not asking for friendship or companionship per se. I have seen a change in his behaviour and it is concerning. It is affecting me as well, so I came here for advice, not ultimatums.
