[quote=Anonymous]$500 rent.  If you could afford it, I would put it in an account that helps fund a down payment for a home.

Rules:  If he choses to eat with you, he engages in the process of preparing / cleaning up afterwards.

If he choses to eat without you, he cleans up.  Before he uses any food that you purchased - he asks to make sure it was not purchased for specific meal you are making later in the week.

I would have the same ground rules you had when he lived in the house in high school.  If it was that he was expected to take out the garbage / recycling - it is the same.  You are a family and people contribute to the home.  The $500 fee does not buy him out of contributing / helping around the house.

There are no curfews - BUT there is respect for the household.  If he is going to come in at 11:30 - I better not be woken up.

Tell him that this is the deal for 3 months and we will see if it needs to be modified 3 months from now.  Do not give him a deadline as until he starts looking - you do not know what the specific market is going to be.
