It's probably for the best that it's so difficult to evict people--we don't want our landlords changing the locks while we're at work because the rent's an hour late and their nephews are itching to move in--but it makes for some serious hassles when people want to abuse the situation.
If the LW's tolerance for surly housemates and newborn infants is high, he could ride it out until they've had enough. The couple deserves no better (legally, assuming he's on the lease, or otherwise) and the baby won't notice. I'd do it, personally, because I love my apartment and moving's such a hassle, but then I'm a stubborn prick. Someone as sweet-natured as the LW will probably prefer to cut his losses--which will inevitably include these two friends, who are probably cutting their entire old lives loose to become parents anyway.
