[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you asked the second kid, it was in the same breathe that you set the rental terms. Was that true for the initial invite? Or did you invite first and then tack on rent later? Is it was a bait and switch, then I think you carry some blame for this situation.[/quote]

+1  Saying they "accepted immediately" is comparing apples to oranges.  Come back in three weeks and tell that kid's mom you've decided to triple the rent and see how she reacts; that's more in line with what happened to the first mom.

Also, why in the world is OP the point person on any of this?  [/quote]

OP here.

100% false.

My son asked if he could bring a friend. We spoke with the in laws and they gave the OK. We are in DC, in laws are in NC. Their kids will likley have multiple visitors over the summer while mine wont just because of distance. Hence the reason he was permitted to bring someone. We and the in laws together agreed on the $1000 to cover the utilities and provide a sense of responsiniolity. Our sons aretasked with repairs an maintennace.  The kid was offered the deal by my son. He shared it with his parents and the mom engaged me.

The lease was in place simply for protection in case the kid did something horrible.  Two of the BILs are attorneys and would draw the lease so that it was enforceable. I'm not going to engage with anonymous strangers on the Internet about whether a hypothetical lease that no one has seen is valid. Only a fool would do that.

There was no bait and switch and I can't see where you'd even get that idea from this thread. [/quote]

Putting aside the interesting question of what this lease is going to look like, this situation still seems completely bizarre.  Why not just have all four boys be responsible for maintenance?  Why does the kid living in the shed end up being the only one who needs to pay?  And will your nephews' friends and visitors be charged a daily amount for their stay?  [/quote]

You seriously cant understand why a non owner should pay, while the owners don't? The owners have already paid. Its called they bought the house!

And spending three months living in the house is not the same as coming down for a weekend. If the weekend visitors were raised right, they'll come with some sort of compensation ie paying for the pizzas and beer. I know my son would. But I doubt you raised your child properly because you apparently think the one kid is entitled to the home as if his family owns it.[/quote]

Thanks for your concern, but I not only raised my kids properly, I was properly raised myself, which means I would never allow my kid to invite a friend to our beach house, and then stick the kid in a shed and tell him he owes rent.  If he is my son's friend, he would be treated as my son is for the summer.  If I thought he was in any way irresponsible such that I needed a monetary bond in place to cover potential damages, he would not be allowed to stay at all. [/quote]

So you're saying your son is accident proof?

Wow. He's a miracle. I can't think of one person I've ever known(let alone a 20 yo with a not yet fully formed brain) who isn't capable of accidentally knocking over a 60" TV and breaking it. Or  accidentally leaving the fridge door open over night and burning out the compressor, or spilling a can of paint in the garage or tripping and pulling a towel bar out of the wall, or slinging a backpack over his shoulder and breakig a window, or you now.... haing an accident that causes  damage.

I guess you don't require your son to have health insurance or car insurance, right? Because its impossible that he'd wreck a car or get sick or injured.

You, sir, are a jackass.[/quote]
