Can a parent charge 15 year old child rent?
if he has a job then the parent should charge rent at the age of 18I don't think legally the child has to pay him but if he's not 18 then it doesn't matter because legally the child doesn't own that money anyways the parents do so if you want to call it rent its really (legally) the parents money anyways so anything the kid did get leftover is actually a bonus... but that doesn't mean the parent isn't a total D*ck face for being like that.
What are the legal responsibilities of parents with adult children at home?
None! Treat them as renters and charge them rent! I am shocked that most parents (not accusing you) allowing their children to work and not pay rent. If you like the rent they pay can be put in an interest bearing account and when and if they want to marry, travel, etc., you can give them the money. Also, you are not "maid service" for them so treat them as renters and other than sitting down at the dinner table as a family (the kids should help make dinner too or at least do dishes) they are renters only! If your kids are going to College that is a different matter as far as paying rent, but they should be taught to be individuals and do chores around the house, keep their room clean, do their own laundry, make their own lunches and if they want extra money let them go out and work for it!
My Parents Are On Benefits Im 17 And Have Just Lost My Job can They Still Charge Me Rent?
Parent's can kick a child out at the age of 16 in the UK. This means that they are probably able to get away with charging rent. You could refuse and be kicked out and get special housing from the council though.
In the State of New York can a parent make their 17-year-old pay rent if they are claiming the minor child on their taxes?
ANSWERS: Yes. If you are working there is no reason you shouldn't pay rent just because they are your parents. No more free rides! Your parents are making you responsible and if you left home, worked and even went to school you would still have to pay rent. They are not doing anything illegal, but making you take responsibility before you go out into the world. Some parents realize that their children will squander the money, charge them rent and put that money into an account for their child(ren.) If your family is having tough times you should be more than willing to contribute some rent to help out. Food alone is very expensive. Marcy *I think it is totally ridiculous to expect a "CHILD" to pay their parent rent while they are still attending high school. What exactly is the job of a parent? One would think it is to provide the basic necessities of the child, that would include food, clothing and shelter. What kind of parent are you if you expect your kid to pay for things that many would think under the law you are obligated to provide. If a child moves out and requires assistance from the state you are required to pay the state support for that child until they reach 21 years old so how can it be that a child under that age would be expected to pay a parent rent? *They may be able to charge the rent from the child, which is ridiculous, but by law it is considered income to the parents and they would legally have to claim the rent as income on their tax returns. *In many states the parents of a minor are entitled to ALL wages the child earns. You are lucky they let you keep any of it. *Parents are responsible for the support of their children until they are adults or emancipated. If the parents really want the money, the employer in many states is required to send the paycheck to the parents if they request it.

Starting on their 18th birthday, technically yes. Parents are responsible for providing for their children until the age of majority (whether they like it or not). As soon as they reach the age of majority (usually 18), the parents can charge them rent, kick them out of the house, or whatever... all perfectly legal (if a tad cold-hearted).
