All my references has been about the meme posted..

What YOU are speaking is in reference to yourself, which the thread isn't about.

We dont know what the foundation of what you are or s/o would be for you to charge her rent in a house that you owned.

In this instance we do.

edit:How do people quote me, then tell ME i dont know know what Im talking about, when not keeping in context with the thread meme?
YOu literally confused yourself and don't know what you are talking about. Thats why I said that.
YOu literally asked me "so you move her in because you plan to long term marry her right?" I answered that and you said stick to the context.
Try to read what you post and follow your own convo string.

Two things, one you asked me my personal opinion and I responded. two, the meme is a hypothetical and based off the perspective of those reading it, there is no right answer and the perspective is subjective to the one reading it.

You 3rd sentence makes no sense whatsoever with regard to the meme or the question you asked me. Getting back to the original topice my response is clear, that isn't your wife or your fiance, that is your girlfriend. She is paying rent.

.. You’re saying she should get free shelter/amenities just because she’s fukking the owner of the property?
:dahell:Nobody is saying she should pay nothing, not anybody itt, NOT EVEN HER. At all. Nobody. It's not even on the list of options.

And yet, y'all keep repeating it, why? :lupe:

I already broke it down for y'all. $800 a month is about right for all living expenses.

-200 property tax
-500 groceries
-300 utilities
-200 cable/internet
-100 home owners insurance
-200 maintenance

So about $700-$800/month. Where in this country can you live on $700-$800/month with those luxuries?

You're a damn fool if you don't take that deal. Otherwise you paying nearly $3000 a month to live by yourself

I'm kinda slow sometimes:russ:


Nah if she marriage material I don't see no point in charging rent. You vibe good with the girl, why charge her rent like she a tenant.


Only reason to charge $800 is for maintenance like roof replacement, but at that point she might as well put her name on the house deed.

You paid money for the item, the intent shouldn't matter, because you could argue the house you bought when you are a single guy you have the intent to flip it and get a profit when you want to start a family. It would literally be the same as the transaction in the store to buy a item with the intent to sell, just a shorter time frame. Its literally the exact same scenario, but its easier to see what the behavior is on the man who allows it and the woman who performs the using that way, so you reject it .

I see you interject the caveat, within reason now. LOL

You’re not making any sense. Her staying with you isn’t stopping you from flipping that house. So it’s NOT comparable to her taking items that you paid to have on your shelves cuz you can’t sell those items after she takes them.

Your convenience store question would be comparable to her staying at a rental property that you own outright. In that case, if the market rate was $2k, of course I’d make her pay rent....and it wouldn’t be at no measly $800 rate either. Most I’d offer is a 20% discount. Cuz her staying there would be preventing me from renting and making money off another tenant.

None of this is comparable to her moving in with me at my main residence. It would cost me $0 to have her staying with me (cuz again, she would be covering at least her share of the monthly bills and maintenance), so charging her “rent” just cuz makes no sense unless you’re just tryna get over on her.

I don't think it's a matter of what she should pay. I think he quoted a price that she didn't find agreeable and is unwilling to negotiate, end of transaction. :yeshrug:

No mam... It is exactly about what should she pay... Hence why this thread is 20 plus pages... If I could afford 2k a month in rent and you were my girl and your home was paid off..... I could come live at your crib and only contribute 300 dollars a month? :lupe:
