Take him out right before you go to bed and maybe once during the night.
You could also pick the water up and hour or so before you go to bed and not
let it down for him to drink from over night. Some dogs will eat or drink
when stressed.
It could also be he's just not used to the routine. How often did he go out
with the owners? Our schedule is one that the dogs go out at 10pm, 2am,
6am, 10am, 1:30pm, 3:30pm, 5:30pm, 7:30pm We work different shifts and it's
not the typical schedule for a household but it's what our dogs are used to.
They can and often do sleep through the night but seldom are expected to
hold it more than 5 hours.

I have a pup who will drink the whole bowl if I put it in her kennel at
night then have to go out half
