Rent for adult children

Amanda2709 · 2023-01-06 22:52:00

My daughter is 23. Just finished uni and is earning £250 a week from 2 jobs.Not paying tax yet. I charge her £30 per week for food and bills, ( electricity. Gas. Water. Internet,) and I do her washing and £25 per week for rent. Bear in mind I’ve lost 53 per week in housing benefit cos she’s working but feel taking £53 in…

Maybe you can chat with your daughter to see what she thinks.
Explain why you're charging what you are.
It can then set a precedent for when your daughter gets a job.
