My son is moving back after 8 years away, how much do I charge him rent?

  • £1100 per month sounds like an awful lot of money for household bills! Presumably you're paying this on your own at the moment, so it seems unfair to ask him to subsidise you and your daughter.
  • I think £300 is fair

    You could go on a website like spareroom.com and see what the going rate for a room let is for your area and charge him that,
  • I think this is a good idea.

    I'd give him a easy first month financially. You are his mother after all.
    Unless, of course things are tight financially. I'd just charge him just for food in the first month. Then I'd probably do £200 rising after a few months to £300.00.

    The OP posted in January 2017 so the first month is long gone. :)
