My daughter finished a levels in the summer just gone and is currently having a year out to work/make final decision about going to uni next year. My question is should I charge her rent? My son is 20 and works full time so pays rent. Also costs a lot to keep! Buys all his own clothes, pays for phone, gym etc. he thinks she should be paying something as it’s not fair otherwise. She has a job but not full time hours but takes extra shifts when they’re offered. Should I charge her a nominal amount? I have explained to him that she is also much more help generally around the house than he is. Will walk dog willingly, do cleaning etc when asked. Or should I treat it as a year out and allow her to save everything for uni? Financially it would be a bit of a struggle for me as he dad no longer pays anything for her as she’s left education and is 18. However I could make it work. Just interested in other’s opinions. I know lots of people don’t ever charge their children rent but I think they should learn about having to pay their own way a bit and I also could afford not to.
