Okay, so here's the situation. My best friend and I live in an apartment with our other friend we've known since high school. We generally got along with him, so when the opportunity came up for the three of us to get a place together a year and a half ago, we took it.

But for the past several months, he's completely changed. He's turned into a complete dick to us and others in our social circle. We know he's been having a few things going on in his life (nothing major, but he hasn't had a girlfriend in a while, that sort of thing). We've tried to help him out, be his friend. We've even set him up with a few single girls we know and he systematically drove them all away. 

Point is, our lease is up in a couple of months, and he's started bringing up the idea of renewing, which is something we absolutely don't want to do. Our own girlfriends and siblings don't want to come to our place because they can't stand being around him. 

The problem is we don't know how to tell him that without causing a huge fight or losing him as a friend. He's a sensitive guy, so he's bound to fly off the handle when we tell him this.

If we tell him now, he's gonna make us miserable for the next few months until the lease ends. But if we wait, this is going to drag on. Any advice?
