This actually happened to a friend of mine recently. Her solution was to suck it up for awhile and when it was time for her review she used that as leverage for a fat raise. When you make yourself indispensable to the company it makes a raise more likely in the future.
Also, i think you could ask if the office is available since you will be taking over his position? I don't really know about that though b/c you have the potential to sound whiny if you ask...don't you think? (not that i think you're whiny, but you know what i mean)
