[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]

Likely what happened is that OP's son asked the first boy if he wanted to stay for the summer.  Excited young men will make plans and not think through all the implications. OP's son likely over-promised from the outset.

The discussion needed to happen between OP and the BIL's. They don't know this random kid and are co-owners, so its within their right to ask for a bit of money to go toward utilities and maintenance. [/quote]

Even if the boys did talk first about a plan that didn’t include rent and that small fee was added later by the parents it still should not seem outrageous to a reasonable person. OP has described a historic property near the coast that is special to the family. Nobody else on DCUM has any way to disprove that. OP has said the outbuilding is outfitted as a bedroom that the family also uses when needed so I doubt it’s a dumpy shed. I do not think it is unreasonable to have a different expectation ie rent or lease for a kid that is not a family member. [/quote]
