[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New poster here- To you it’s s guest room or a basement room, but to the AP it’s her private space where she can escape and have down time. All her private belongings are in the room. It’s really not okay. You should move yourself to the guest room. [/quote]

+100. The room was promised to AP as a part of contract and exchange. If you rented out the basement, you would not think about asking your renter to move, right? This room is payment-in-kind for the services that AP is providing to you. So she has same level of rights to your basement and expectation of privacy as a renter would. Yes, you may like her, yes, she might like you. But if you ask her to move it might feel to her that you are not treating her as a member of family, because comfort of your sister and your nieces/nephews comes first to you. [/quote]

The AP is guaranteed a private, legal room.  Not a *specific* private, legal room. The AP is not a renter.  I move my kids when guests come, and yes, the kids are my family too. [/quote]
