yes! You charge 20% more. so if you're asking $300 for rent for one room you'd ask $360 for that same room with an additional person. Its the space effect of distribution. The extra person is using up an extra amount of space because in order to get into that room they'd need an easement from the door to the hallway and then into that room. So that'll have an opportunity cost. If the other person is willing to have someone else in their room, they already understand the opportunity cost and were more than willing to accept a second into their space. However, since you are the one renting out the room the cost of renting it will go up based on how many people are using it. It they rented the whole place it would be a fixed price. However, since they're going to create extra 'noise' disturbances it is customary that they pay a little extra for the shared space in someone elses dwelling.

When you buy your sons house do you have to charge him rent to live there?

That's entirely up to you. If you're buying it as a gift, then probably not. However, it's always reasonable to charge rent to a tenant, even if you're related to the person in question. You do not have to charge your son rent. But in the case that you bought the house you have the right to charge him for any space that he is occupying.

Is it a wise choice to buy a house rent and can you make a profit?

Details are that we found a house for 119,000. My husband is available for a VA loan and we are contemplating whether it is a wise investment for two people about to go to college. We are both 22, and the thing is we are contemplating taking the loan, buying the house. My father who is a trustworthy person on payments wants to rent it and the rent would be automatically paid for the loan payment and he would do the repairs to the house that need to be done free of charge, he has been a repairmen for 30+ years. Is this a smart decision? We could use other opinions who might have more experience in this.
