Own a 2 bed house currently have one room as my partners office and one as our bedroom. Partners work colleague I said moving at the end of summer back to his family and needs somewhere to stay until September as his landlord is selling her house. My partner said he could come stay with us and I agreed that would be ok as we could do with the extra money. Partners wants to give really reduced mates rates but we couldn’t agree on rules of him moving in so agreed we would chat about and decide. just got back of holiday 2 days ago I’ve had bad case of d and v and my periods just started house is a mess and apparently he’s moving into night. Partners already moaned about having no office. When I mentioned that maybe he shouldn’t move in I got the guilt trip of do you want him to be homeless with no where to go he’s a 40 year old man with a really decent job he can afford to rent somewhere but will struggle for a tennatcy under 6 months. Give me a week and I would be fine but I’m still feeling so crap will all my holiday washing and bathroom needs to be disinfected amibu to say no when he turns up. When friends normally stay I have dinner ready house tidy and don’t mind at all

My partner also stated he would sort out the office for him I assumed that meant get the base for the bed out and move his desk make it actually like a room for him. Having someone else live with us Is a big thing but the rent would of been useful but we can’t really charge a lot for a mattress on a floor in a cluttered office

Ask for housekeeping money. He'll be using heat, lighting, water, loo paper etc

I am always amazed at the lack of some basic spine in these kinds of threads Shock

Re-frame it.
You're not charging him rent to sleep on a mattress on the floor without a proper room - you are charging him for utilities, toiletries and a housekeeping service for the 3 or so months he chooses to be under your roof.
