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

[prince_peoples]

Lmao so if they break up in 3 years, that bytch saves over 70k off his hard work?

They not married.

 

[Conan]

He put a value of $800 per month on that relationship

Nah... If he charging her 800 and he could make 1000 off someone else in that situation, he putting 200 on that relationship, not 800

Exactly, and for what?

I'm kinda split on this issue. I see both sides. But respectfully, if they are not married, why would she asked where his money is going?

At the same time. It is kinda tacky to ask rent from your girl. I personally wouldn't even have offered. Either shelter her for free or not at all. No half stepping.

I can see asking for money if they’ve been in conversations about shacking up to save money. From that perspective his proposal makes sense. It happens all the time. If they continue to grow as a couple then the arrangement can be modified. Her money can start to go towards things like a wedding fund or investments.

I say all that to say, it’s short sighted thinking to just be offended by the notion of rent. Personally, if it was me I’d propose it but say it’s no pressure and we can continue living separate because I wouldn’t want to make her feel like a tenant. Let her keep paying the $1800.

 

[prince_peoples]

doesn't make sense, if the house is paid for what am i paying rent for? what does he need my $800 for?

we could be saving HEAVY to purchase a second property to rent out

We could be saving heavy?

The money you make at work is your money and not his, you are only able to save off his hard work

If you break up with him in 2-3 years you gonna cut him a check?

Her other situation $2000 rent + $400 food + $300 HOA. She easily saving $1000 living with ole boy.

Why would she be paying HOA for a place she's renting?

She stays in a high rise. Those Condos can have HOA fees and it's very likely she does.

If so, which I doubt it would be included in her rent. The scenario doesn't indicate anything to even promote this.

And the owner of the unit is responsible for that.

I rent in a high rise condo, I don't pay a separate fee for the condo association, the owner takes care of that. Some is likely baked into my rent, but it's not separate.

And the scenario says she stays in an apartment, so there wouldn't be a fee.

Ok but her rent by itself is still $2000. What about food, utilities, and parking?

 

[Mr swag]

Why wouldnt he pay for the maintance its his home?

So let me get this correct

She has been in the house for 5 years rent free, the dish washer breaks and she says “I’m not paying half, it’s your house!
