[quote=Anonymous]Thanks everyone.   Op here.   So, we don’t need the rent but it would be nice to have since we don’t use the AP room (relatives rarely stay here bc most family is nearby and my out of town family prefers to stay in hotels ????).   I’m on the fence about what to do with the whole area.  It can be converted into a full basement apartment with two decent size bedrooms) and a bathroom, fridge and tiny kitchen.   I think DH would prefer not to close off the basement because he uses his exercise bike there and very occasionally we will use the second TV down there.  My kids are still youngish (early elementary) and still prefer to play in the main floor near mom and dad, so we don’t use the basement all that often.  If we did the work and closed off the basement we could charge a decent rent and have real tenants (a couple, for example) but I’m not sure we’re there yet.  This would be sort of testing the waters.   The AP complicated things.  We like her a lot I just don’t want to find myself resentful of not being able to ask her to watch the kids while living rent free.   And no we wouldn’t tell the other tenant she pays no rent but I have to imagine she would figure it out sooner or later.  [/quote]
