yeah, ratbastid is right. These situations always have the potential to go badly, so I'd be careful about how it's done. Whatever you do, remain calm, allow him to say whatever he wants, but YOU're the one in charge of the situation, because it's your house. I suggest comsuming a depressant such as morphine, marijuana, or i guess a beer, just to mellow yourself out, and approach the situation by sending the message that he has a few different options.... like Paying you rent, offering to clean up or buy groceries, or just moving out. Out of those three, what do you sense he will go ahead with? Maybe just tell him he has to do it, or bolt.
The truth is, if you're dropping hints, there's no way he isn't picking them up. People know when they're on their way to wearing out their welcome. Bringing it up once will probably get nowhere anyway, so you'll have to talk about it all the time, like every day until something gets done about it. Even if you get into a big confrontation about stuff and you can't be on friendly terms with him for a while, it's not your fault. He seems like he's being greedy and needs to learn a lesson.
