So weird with their dog smells, charging kids rent, mayonnaise  [/quote]

Don't forget the doggy french kissing..  Anyways, back to OP's question.  Paradoxically, if the kid is doing well financially (college done, good job, etc.) I won't charge rent but make them save the equivalent of rent for the future.  If the kid is not doing well (college drop out, works at a grocery store, etc.), I'll charge rent and save it on their behalf for a rainy day to teach them fiscal discipline.  [/quote]

Definitely, if they don't have a plan (be it college or otherwise) and are not working hard to get a plan, then I'd charge rent they could "afford" on their wages (like 35-40% up to the cost of a typical 1 bedroom in our area), so they can see what it will take to actually live as an adult.  However, I would save that rent and give it to them when they move out.  [/quote]

I don’t know any young 20 somethings who live in a 1 BR alone. They’d have to be pretty high earning to justify that.[/quote]
