[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes if I only bought the house to accommodate them, needed the money to pay the mortgage, and they had an adequate retirement fund. [/quote]

I bought a house specifically with an in-law suite so I could accommodate them. Would have spent less if I didn’t need to buy a house with that. They pretty much only live on social security and I would be cooking and buying food for them. They would not help out at all (kids out of house, they don’t clean).

I don’t need the money to pay the mortgage at all. I was thinking more because they are not living with my sibling instead (even part-time) because sibling’s spouse hates them. So it’s like my sibling is making out like a bandit not to have increased utility and food costs, not to mention inconvenience. I could ask sibling to pay for half of those costs maybe? I don’t want resentment because I get along with everyone right now, but I could see I would be resentful that I was the only one bearing the burden.[/quote]
