I have several villagers in my town that I HATE. (And hate is a very strong word.)
How can I get them to move out?
 
When you max out your friendship, there's nothing left for them to do but ask to leave.
 
Talk to them often, do their tasks, when they ask for fruit, give them perfect fruit, etc.
 
I have a few methods to get them out, but they involve Time Travelling.

1) 2 days forward and 2 days back (Note: This sometimes does not work)
You basically TT 2 days ahead then go back. If you go back 2 days straight away, it will count as one day though. Unless you go back day by day. Then you run around your town and see if anyone pings/see if there is a rumour about (villager) thinking of leaving.

2) 6 days forward then back
Similar to the first method, but is guaranteed to work. Make sure that there are no rumours about a villager wanting to move, or this can go wrong. So, TT ahead 6 days. Save and quit. Change the date 6 days back in one go. Then go around the town and see who is wanting to leave. This method should work 100%, unless there is an event in the 6 days you were TT'ing forward to, which in that case, can screw it up.

3) Introduce yourself to them, then ignore (Again, not sure if this will work 100%)
You introduce yourself to them ONCE, then blatantly ignore them for around one week. If you have already talked to them on an existing character, make another Save File or introduce yourself to them on a side character. After around a week, they may ping and tell you that they want to leave.

* And, if you are a bit paranoid like me, and think that someone is wanting to leave without you knowing, do this:
- Go to your 3DS clock setting and change the clock to one year ahead
- Load up your game, on a New Save File
- After Rover's speech, check the town map
- If there is a house missing, this meant that someone in your town wanted to leave. If all of the houses are there, then no one was wanting to move
- Exit without saving, and set the date back to the correct date
- Go back into your game, and hunt down the villager who left 'one year later'. Or just continue TT'ing to get them out
