Charging girlfriend rent on a property you own outright. Who’s right/wrong?

[Ezekiel 25:17]

I understand all those things, I am a homeowner. The girlfriend is not in any way shape or form a part owner, so those responsibilities are not hers. Once again, I have no issue splitting bills.

She's living there so what you mean

 

[Rockstar Mom]

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?

nikkas want to be hard on hoes so bad, they lose all reading comprehension skills.

 

[Ashley Banks]

your husband would starve and wear dirty clothes if one day you didn't do it?

stop being dramatic

 

[JOHN.KOOL]

They aint married she really just wants to live rent free more than she wants to live with him tbh.

 

[Ashley Banks]

Does he ask you to do that though, I can understand him doing it to return the favor but I'm pretty sure he was doing those things before he met you and if you left right now I doubt he would be pressed to do his laundry and cook.

Yes, obviously he asks me to do it. Obviously he can do all those things on his own. I assumed you guys would know that I didn’t mean 100% of the time because obviously no one can promise that but I guess not.

No my almost 40 year old husband won’t starve and wear dirty clothes if I don’t do it for him but he still expects me to do those things MOST of the time.

Just like I’m not going to just let my car run out of gas and get out and walk with my children because there is no gas my car. He just puts gas in my MOST of the time.

Then that's a better explanation, the way you originally explained it you sounded like an air head hoe

The cognitive dissonance is on you who is insistent on charging your SO $800/month for something that costs you $0/month (since she’s covering her 50% share of the monthly expenses in this scenario).


If you had a line on getting a bag that she wants at cost ($300) that has a retail price of $3,000, would you charge her $1500 on some “what are you complaining about!? I’m offering 50% off” shyt?

It’s his house. He can charge what he wants. She doesn’t have to comply. she’s still saving money.

anyway my comment is speaking to the larger. Even if it was his house and he still had a mortgage... women overwhelmingly scoff at the thought that they should pay rent. Because she’s “helping him get equity in something she doesn’t own”

So basically, you decided to talk about a completely different issue

Asking someone to contribute to a mortgage is very different than asking them to pay a monthly fee just because they've proven they can afford it.

And course it's his prerogative to charge what he wants, and her prerogative to accept those terms, this thread was about us giving opinions on who's position is "right" in this fictitious scenario.

 

[Rhyse]

Expenses PLUS $800 rent.

nikkas really dont read.

Ladies: is $800/ mo in savings worth living, lease less, with a man you fukking but not super serious with?

This thread proves that all bytches ain’t female. Can they not read and see she has no problem paying half the expenses? But no woman in her right mind would pay the additional $800 rent when there is no mortgage. And no MAN worth his weight would ask her to. I pay $1800 now and don’t even blink at that shyt. My peace in not dealing with a Mitch like this is priceless. I’ve found that those that have it wouldn’t even ask her to. It’s the broke ones that don’t have that always thinks someone wants their All Bills Paid Cash Checking Place hourly needing that overtime to make it money.

Renters aren't responsible for property taxes, hoa and fixing roofs. The owners are. Stop exposing yourself.

 

[NaijaProdigy Redux]

So she’s saving $1200 a month on rent?

the real math would be to see her all in cost at her current spot versus the all in cost of living with the guy ($800 + expenses)

My guess is it’s still a hell of an arbitrage

 

[David_TheMan]

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.

You aren't making any sense. LOL.
Her staying with you and you living in the house isn't stopping you just as much as her taking what she wants from your store isn't stopping you from making it back on other shyt in the store, its all paid for by you and as long as you have something you haven't lost totally right?
So yeah it is entirely comparable.

A rental property and your own home where you rent that you also stay in, is a distinction without a difference. You know that right. LOL.
She is getting greater than a 20% discount living with him for 800 a month for rent, so what you are saying is rambling. LOL

All of it is comparable, it cost you just as much for her to mooch in your house as it cost for her to come in and pick up a soft drink and snacks everyday in a real sense, its neglible.

What is funny to me is that throughout all of this, you simps only care about the money the man saves, no talk at all about her stacking 2k by living with you and not even breaking you off any of the money she is saving.

Engrained p*ssy worship has yall cats blind.

There’s no spinning the fact that her taking that stuff from the store is costing you money. Wether you can make it back some other way is irrelevant; the fact that she put you in a position where you have to make it back is the point.

Her moving in with you and splitting the monthly expenses is NOT costing you money (it’s actually saving you money). Charging her a rent on top of that is nothing more than you selfishly trying to profit on her.

 

[Luke Cage]

not a good idea. What happens if she loses her job and misses payments. You gonna kick her out? Think you relationship would last long after that? I understand you don't want to simp, but have some common sense. May as well just break up with her now and save yourself the headache.
