Re: Lodging at home
When I was at home, I was paying around 280 a month.
I guess a lot of it depends on what he can afford? - does he earn ok?

Re: Lodging at home
I'd say it depends on how much he earns. £50/week isn't a fortune though, I live alone and my grocery bill is £40/week normally.
Try not to be too hard on him though, if he is saving the money he isn't giving to you. If he is squandering it on booze and women, then be a bit more stricter, but if he is saving money, try and help him out as much as he can. Moving out costs a fortune these days, let alone actually buying your own place.

Re: Lodging at home
Well, I don't know what the going rate is in your area, but the recent rents i have paid are:
SE London- £250pm
Wembley- £330pm
Hendon- £404pm
Those all included council tax and bills
Swansea- £152pm- room only
Hendon £1000pm- 2bed flat
I reckon you should charge the going rate for the area- given that you are providing food (and doing his washing...?? ) then that will be extra benefits for him of staying at home.

... then he's a lucky so and so, and you need to charge him lots - I don't want someone else out enjoying themselves when I'm not

That's not a fortune, if that's gross... i'd say £20-£40/week. So long as he is paying something really, and saving the rest. A bit more if he's enjoying himself.
