Heck, if you're paying the rent and the bills, I'd almost suggest telling him that *he* needs to find his own place. But, that's just spiteful.

I'd wait to broach the subject until you actually have a place lined up. Wait until you actually take possession, that way, if he flies off the handle and tries to throw you out of the house, you have some place to go. He might be hurt that he wasn't included earlier, but it sounds like that's how it has to be.

I'd also dispense with the note. Face to face, and don't go any deeper than you need to go. Just say that you decided it was time to find a place of your own, and you are moving out next week...
