[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The hourly rate would be $14.00 for 28 hours a month. He priced the room out at $500 and wants an extra $100 in cash on top of the 28 hours.[/quote]

But where are you located? Look on CL for room shares in your area and see what the average room rental rate is. What would your hourly rate be for live-out work (you normally do not lower it for being a live-in if it is just a work exchange, only if you are getting room and board as a benefit of living in with a regular hourly rate (maybe quoted as weekly) as well.

If you give me more details, I would be happy to let you know my opinion on if it is truly fair or not. I have done live-in work for many years, including work exchanges, but it really depends on location. Not just city, but neighborhood as well. Is it a basic room only with shared bath, or private bath for you to use? Anything else helps to determine if the overall hours are a fair exchange or not.[/quote]

I'm in NE DC. Room rentals vary from $450-900. It's a room on the main floor, shared bathroom. [/quote]
