How much is a reasonable price to make someone pay for rent....?

A 21 year year old shares a 10 ftx10 ft bedroom with a 12 year old. The 21 year old sleeps on a twin bed. The 21 year old ofcourse eats atleast 2 meals a day, takes showers every 2 days, uses electricity, and washes his clothes once a week. He also helps the 12 year old with homework, cleans the house, and helps out with dinners, washes dishes, etc. He also has to deal with a drunk alcoholic every other night. How much do you think would be a reasonable price for rent?How much is a reasonable price to make someone pay for rent....?
$0.00. The 21 year old is more than earning his keep in doing housework, cooking, doing dishes. The helping w/homework is a bonus. Tutors cost a lot of money, as does household help.



Get the alcoholic some help %26amp; leave the 21 year old alone - he sounds like a great 'kid.'How much is a reasonable price to make someone pay for rent....?
I'm sorry to hear that the alcoholic is being unreasonable. I know he's only working part-time, but maybe he could find a second job? He should really find a different place to live; especially if he'll be charged the cost of an apartment anyway. I'm glad I was able to help a little bit.

If he has a part-time job and is going to school full-time, then maybe $150-$200. If he's not in school but has a full-time job, then maybe double that amount. He seems to be helping around the house which is good so I wouldn't expect him to pay the bulk of rent....how many other people live in the house?
$300 a month
no more than 200.00 a month
You don`t say if he is working or in School. I would calculate how much it would cost him in his own place and expect 1/3 of that price for his rent.
reasonable? depends on what ';things'; you want in your life.. and if your willing to drive to work,. but the way you worded the question I would assume this is you or your child...



if they are your child.. bring it near the market rate for apt in your area... place the money in a bank account and show them what it is like in the real world..

when the leave.. give them the cash as a start up...



but come on they are sharing a room with a 12 year old.. you cant be to serious
Depending upon where you live, if this 21 year old were an in-law, I would charge about $1,500 a month.



If it were a relative of mine, then about $300 a month.
Considering how much that 21 year old does, the living accomadations, and dealing with the drunk, he should be getting paid for his services.



When I was a professional nanny in the early 90's, I got paid 300 bucks a week to take care of 1 baby and nothing else. The family gave me a beautiful bedroom with an ensuite bathroom, all meals, and a car to drive with all gas and insurance paid for. I never did any laundry or cooked, or anything else, except for myself.
around a 100, since he helps out around the house and does other things.
If he helps with the homework, cleans the house, helps out with dinners, washes dishes and etc regularly then charge him nothing. When I say regularly I mean at least a couple times a week.
There are several very wrong things with this. 1) a 21 yr old should not be sharing a room with a 10 yr old, esp a 10X10. That's tiny. 2) Why are you dating your brother???? 3) He should not be paying rent. He shouldn't even be there. It's not a good situation
