[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Three college aged boys are going to live for free for the summer and your son invited a friend to join them.  Of course the implication is that it's free.

Also calling $333/month for a glorified shed with no running water or kitchen "nominal rent" is hilarious.  That's highway robbery.[/quote]

OP here. The friend would use the kitchen, baths, electricity, water, and gas like all the others and undoubtedly hang out in the house all the time he wasn't sleeping. The other boys are living for free because... their family owns the house.  :roll: [/quote]

Eye roll?  I imagine that other lady is giving you and eye roll and much more!

Do you really think the marginal cost of that boy staying in the bunk shed is $1000 for the summer?  Is this your son's good friend?     And why do your charge him unless DH's family is that hard up for $$??
What does DS think?

I would have been mortified if my parents did this to a friend of mine.[/quote]

Depends how much they make for the summer. My friend charges all her kids, 2 cousins and a friend rent to stay at her house in Nantucket. This is their primary home where the kids grew up. However - they make a lot of money in the summer, use water electricity and live in the place. She uses all the money to pay for a house cleaner and utilities.

Op, if this was part of the plan and the friend was told up front, I see absolutely no problem with it if the rent is in line with what he will make in the summer living there. If the rent was brought up later or too much, then not cool. [/quote]
