Money Moral Dilemma: Should I charge a neighbour for storing stuff in my flat?

Another made up one so what's the point ?

Clearly made up by someone who still lives at home .

Where else do people live?! :huh:

I'm still storing some stuff my mate asked me to look after for about a week after he walked out on his ex about 3 years ago.


He's a really good mate, and even then it's always awkward and he gets moody when we bring it up. I plan on dumping it when we move next year as I'd already given him a deadline to move it that he just ignored.




...and this dilemma is to do with someone you've never met before, let alone a life-long friend?


To be fair - the answer to this is easy because there's a really easy excuse. Just say you need the space yourself. They'll never know if you don't.

You're renting but you've had tenants in the past? Did you get your landlords permission?

What's she wanting to store in your flat? I'd make sure it's legal stuff first!

Probably not worth the hassle of charging for the storage space, as if you do, it is taxable and you will need to declare it to HMRC.

I wouldn't store it for them but I also definitely wouldn't charge, as I think that would automatically much-increase your responsibility for the stored stuff.
Like other posters I have a hard time believing this scenario could possibly be real.

Well I dumped a load of stuff on my mate when I got a job overseas at short notice. While I was away he moved house and had to move all my stuff as well. When I got back 7 years later, it turned out that he'd used my wok. The nerve of the guy!
