How much do your parents charge you for rent?
What is your income? $2275 a month or $27,300 per year? Anytime someone lives at home and works then they should be paying rent to their parents or to whomever owns the house. I think your parents are overcharging you for the purpose that it's time for you to stop complaining about the rent and move out, however you're stuck because you have to be 21 to sign a contract for a rental. Yes, a room in someone's home (at least here) is $400-$450 but it's all inclusive (so you won't be paying water and electric). You said you pay gas, is that gas for your car? You didn't mention a car, car insurance, tags or car maintenance. Most people your age and making that kind of wage don't have a savings, an emergency or retirement account. And, of course, you can do without the gym membership. What they do have that you don't have, and what you should get is a credit card or two (for emergencies) and start saving at least $2,000 for you to get off on your own. I have dialup for $19.95 a month (it's slower but if I need faster I go to the library for free). I don't need nor have internet/cable. My landline is $16 a month and I don't have a cell. when you go off on your own you'll have to pay for Obamacare if you're in America, maybe $600 to $1500 a year. And you'll have to buy your own groceries and wash your own clothes at the laundromat if on your own. You probably shouldn't leave home till you have an Associates degree from the local community college. Take some courses and pay them off one at a time, see how you like it, or while living at home sign up for vocational or technical school for whatever you want your career to be. I live in an efficiency apartment and my electric is $45 a month and I don't pay for water, and I have basic cable included in my rent. If you need a car you best save for that as well. Don't pay more than $175 a month for your car. Buy one that has some miles on it. Why aren't your parents working? You're way overpaying for most things and some things you shouldn't be paying for. Stop being so generous and "choosing" to pay for stuff you don't owe. You're not rich, and they will understand if you don't pay that since you're overpaying on your staying there.
Why are my parents charging me $450 rent at 18?
You are an adult now. Unless you are in college it is time to go. Do you think everything is free? No, you are actually getting a great deal at 450. How long do YOU think they should pay your way in the world? 20? 30? Forever? This is reasonable. You are a grown up now, time to leave the nest, cut mommies apron strings. I am a parent with 3 children. One only a year younger then you. While I intend to support them for many more years it is because they will be in college. I promised them any career they want and the first one will have 8 years of college for her degrees, the second will need a 4 year degree. The youngest is still to young to think about careers. I do not want my children working while in school, but this is MY choice. Many parents want children to pay their own way through college. If my children were to decide to remain uneducated (disturbing thought!) I would not continue to support them. If you want a life of menial work, instead of a real career, the only way you will be successful is though experience, and you are not getting that at home, you need to leave to get that. They are trying to help you achieve your dreams, whatever they are. Those dreams will not happen at home, no matter what they are. You should be grateful, they are doing what they can to assure you can manage in life and not end up as some bum on the streets.
Can my parents legally charge me rent?
They cannot legally charge you rent. They CAN..by law, have the right to ANY EARNINGS you have from a job. They choose if you keep that money or not. So, if you work, they can keep all of it (isn't called rent). Suspect they are working to help you understand the idea of being adult and responsible. edit BY LAW.. parents are responsible for minor children... if you got kicked out as a minor, it is reportable to child protective services. I suspect they are more stubborn than dad ever thought of being.
Can my parents make me pay rent! I'm 16 I?
as long as you legally are a minor, your parents must provide the basic necessities -- food, shelter, and clothing, plus public school. so, no -- they can't legally make you pay rent. *** on the other hand, you legally can't own anything either, so your paychecks are in their custody and they have the right to use the income in any way that is reasonable. and that includes paying part of the housing bills. these aren't contradictory -- if you have no income, they can't force you to pay. but if you have income, they don't have to let you have the money.
Should parents charge their adult children rent?
Due to horrific circumstances, I moved in with my dad the day I turned 22 - bringing my 20mth old daughter with me. 11 yrs later, we are still all together.The first month, I paid nothing except groceries.We were starting from scratch and had to replace all of our things we had to leave behind when I fled to live with dad. By the end of that first month, all I really had to get was a bed for me to have finished replacing the essentials. I knew the bed would be expensive, so I was prepared to wait.After that first month, I started paying half the rent, at my insistence. The month after that I started putting a bit toward bills. We'd been there for 3 months when I got my bed. Dad took me to pick it out and bought it for me as a gift because I was, in his words, too stubborn for my own good.After that, I insisted on paying half of everything. And have been ever since. I am an adult, with an income, and a child. Just because my dad was OK with looking after me, it didn't mean it was OK.My younger brothers are still fully supported by dad and their mum, because they are both in university. My daughter, now 13, sees how things work financially in our family, and understands and appreciates it.If I need financial assistance for any reason, dad is there. I pay him back, even though he says it's a gift.I pay him back because it's the right thing to do, and because eventually, we won't be living together.I've been paying my way since I was 14, I can't be any other way. But even if my dad didn't want me to pay towards costs of living, I still would, because I live in the house, I use power, gas, water, and internet. I am not a child, and I am not a parasite. Living with dad has taught me financial responsibility and conservation concepts: power is expensive.So yes, parents should charge their adult children rent or board, if circumstances allow or require it.
