How much to charge my mum rent?

Good morning, I don’t post much but wondered if any of you have any ideas of how much to charge my mum rent per month. I live with my partner in a two bedroom house and my mum is currently going through a messy divorce. At the moment our monthly outgoings total £1235 this includes all our bills and our monthly food budget…

I have had this, my Mum moved in with me and I charged her £200pm for full board - I couldn't afford to do it for free but thought this value was mostly food and the utilties increase.

There is a similar thread on this from the other side of the coin, Daughter and her child moving back in with parents. I posted there that I charged her £50pw but as she was paid monthly we rounded it down. Both of us were happy with this and I think that is the main thing.
