<human>: So this is my first post ever and in fact I created this account to ask for your guys advice... So bare with me as I'm still learning haha!

My boyfriend (Zander), his best friend (Mark), and I have been friends since high school. When high school ended we all ended up at the same college and Zander and Mark decided to dorm together. 

When freshman year ended Zander and Mark decided to live in a house together the following year with two other guys they met on their floor. While they were looking for places to live Mark's dad decided to make them a deal of sorts. He would buy a house and they would get a good deal on rent, he even pays them to work on some projects here and there. I don't know if it's important to note, but most college houses in the area are pretty gross, but he ended up buying really big and nice house. They have been living there for the last two years and their lease is up on May 31st. 

A couple of months ago my boyfriend and I were talking and we decided that when both of our leases are up we were ready to move in together :)! A few nights later my boyfriend, my roommate (Ellie), Ellie's boyfriends (Elijah), and I were talking and I told them our plans and things progressed into us 4 deciding to get a two bedroom place. I should mention that Elijah also lives with Zander and Mark. So now mark and his dad will be losing two tenants. 

If it was just my boyfriend moving out it wouldn't be a big deal, but with him and Elijah moving out to move in together in a different house makes the situation more tricky. We have a feeling that he is going to be upset and probably hurt. We also don't want to lose this friendship over this.

My question for you is how do we go about telling him without hurting his feelings? Do we tell him now so he has plenty of time to look for two more people or do we wait in case things get awkward?

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Boyfriend and his other roommate are moving out of a house that one of the roommates dad bough. Want to know how to bring it up without any hurt feelings.
