I live by myself in a 2-bedroom house that I currently rent for $134/week. A friend's daughter (18yrs) from interstate wants to live with me while completing a university course for 4 years.
My question is how do I decide what is a fair rent charge? Do I charge a set weekly rental, i e $50-60/week plus expenses (and what percentage should this be 50-50?) or should I average out the utility expenses for a year and add it to the base rent charge and just charge one price.
The young lady concerned is fully aware that I am unable to support her and shouldn't have to, and that she will need to pay her way.
I want to be fair to her while not losing out myself.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
