[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think you shouldn't put your daughter in the middle. You're payingrent so technically it's your place. I'd contact him directly and let him know that he needs to start paying you $XX per month if he is to continue living there.

if you stop paying the rent, I could see a situation where your daughter ends up getting a job - not to support herself, but to support her loser bf. And that's throwing the baby out with the bathwater. [/quote]

Wth, no, this is terrible advice. OP would appear completely nuts.

OP, your daughter is a 25 year old fully grown adult. You made a decision to pay for her place during grad school. I’m not going to comment on that decision itself. Your daughter is an adult. It’s really not your place to step in here and try to manage how she lives her life. Would you be this upset if she was hosting a girlfriend who needed a place to stay for a few months? It is possible this this guy is bad news but in all likelihood she would be letting him crash even if she were paying for the apartment herself. It sounds like you a classic helicopter who is trying to use your money to control your child’s action, framed as concern for her well-being.[/quote]
