My wife and I have rented a room in our house to this guy for about 4 years on a month to month basis. I've been wanting to get him to move out for about a year. He's got a lot of emotional baggage, is dirty, have to remind him to do his share of cleaning, doesn't want to pay for shared house supplies, falls asleep randomly and creates hazards, an alcoholic with a bad temper, gets in verbal fights with his gf who stays over half the time, but mostly just has this bad attitude and gives me a bad feeling. He gets on my nerves often and it seems more often that something happens that puts me over the edge and I'm so close to telling him to move out during one of his fits with me (not a good time). Usually he is a nice guy and calls us his friends. He usually is very socialable, likes to offer samples of his cooking etc. He's told me a lot of his deep troubled past. I do things to help him out, I try to be friend when he needs help. He does pay his rent relatively on time and holds a full time job.
We have not raised his rent and the area has gotten quite more expensive. He can afford to live in this city only because of our cheap rent.
My wife was hoping he would move in with his gf but he doesn't want that. (They're not in a healthy relationship).
I really want his negativity out of our life and after tonight's incident I don't trust him. He was asleep on the toilet again with the bathtub water running for an hour. I had to bang on the door a lot to wake him up and he was all pissed at me, claiming it was only a few minutes. Then I could hear him talking to his gf about me like I was this big bad guy and talking crap about me. So I don't trust him anymore. I fear he's going to get violent. He yells to the point where its almost like I feel the need to call the police.
I am wondering how to go about giving him his one months notice to move out, without enraging him. Because I know he will take it very badly and we'll become his enemies likely. He is very "woe is me" and has expressed many stories of the people that he says have made his life so terrible.
I just want him out with as little risk of lashback as possible. We care about him but the time has long passed where he needs to go.
