I pay my mum £250 a month (yes I still live at home :doh: ) and I take home just over £1,300 a month.

Used to pay £200 a month but she blags inflation and all that! :rolleyes:

This covers all my food, leccy, gas. I pay for my own internet and all toiletries and that.

I charge my lodgers £65 for the large room and £50 for the smaller single room and this includes all bills apart from food and telephone. I still think I am diddling myself with the smaller room.

My son, who also lives in the house, pays telephone/internet/cable TV plus his food.

I only wish I could get somewhere to live and all bills paid for these charges.

Put their rent up at least twice as much!

If he's working he can afford at least £50. It does them no favours to let them have it too cheaply IMHO.

You could always show them this thread and the number of people bidding for their rooms.....!!

Or I could get my own back in a few years time when I move in with him and pay £20 a week lol

I used to pay my Mum n Dad £25 a week and that was over 20 years ago, even then I thought it was cheap!!!!!

I used to get charged going rate, but parents put some of it aside to give me a start when I moved out. So if you feel guilty at charging a more realistic rent, maybe you could put a percentage aside for deposit, pots and pans etc when they are on their way... as a surprise, of course!
