Stepdaughter and partner moving in with us

My 23 year old step daughter has lived with us for the last 9 years

Her partner currently lives the other end of the country, and they are expecting there first child. We have said he can move in with us for the next year or 2. Rent free as long as they save for a house deposit.

We will need to give up our room for them and relocate to the living room as her box room won't be large enough.

I want to put some ground rules in places but unsure what. They will be doing there own shopping each week.

Am I being unreasonable to ask they show us statements regulary they are saving?

Don’t the kids inherit then?

@LookingAtMyBhunas if your friend is in England or Wales, their children will inherit his estate equally between them. It would be held in trust until they are of age. Hopefully, if the property was mortgaged he'd have had life insurance in place to pay off the mortgage in the event of his death. Horrible situation for her, notwithstanding.

OMG. Don't do it! They are old enough to figure something out.
