SWAT the place. Repeatedly.
I should clarify this...
When I first read the OP I assumed, right or wrong, that all the coddling in the world wouldn't do a thing except embroil dobanion in something that could only lead to grief. In other words waste time and lead to an uncomfortable situation. Maybe I am wrong? After all the other approach suggesting kindness and such may work. My problem is I have never seen it happen that way.
So, all told, I agree, give the guy a chance to do what's right. Tell him your life has changed and you want to make use of the place yourself, and be grateful when he agrees. Sheesh, maybe he's already come to the same conclusion in his own life and is, as we speak, planning on moving on himself.
One can hope, right?
Though I am more prone to assume he'll resist and have all sorts of excuses.. and if he does, I strongly recommend some version of a firm and persuasive action that gets the result you want in short order..
