been there, done that, got no t-shirt

Ok, that's funny 😂

Easy. Lwt them pay rent, that way you have some passive income to help you with your independence.

Just saw a video that looks like the mom's pov, same scenario: she never told the SD she didn't own the house cause she knew he wouldn't live there. SD eventualy started paying rent. Son saved the money expecting an apology from SD but it never happened cause he 'was the man of the house and felt disrespected' After some other stuff that happened mom filed for divorce.

F**k this guy just evict him

Oh, I remember this one on reddit. The son charged the a$$hole stepfather to pay $1,000 a month and put it in a separate account. If the stepfather apologized for being a douche, he was going to give it all back. A$$hole never apologized, so he keeps paying. Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Sounds like they don‘t have a good relationship anyway. So, go gor it. If it really was for helping the kid be self reliant, they should have talked it through with the Mom first and then talked to the kid together. It sounds like stepdad did in on his own though without informing the Mom. Seams fishy as for the reasons.

I saw this post on a tikitok app a few days ago. It was told from the mom's perspective. Apparently the son's dad was loaded and inherited everything to his son so he'll be set for adulthood. The step dad had no idea of any of this and it turned into a whole back and forth ending in the mom divorcing the step dad, gaining custody of the younger kids, step dad having to move in with HIS parents whom, hilariously, after finding out the entire story, sided with the son and kicked stepdad out of their home too. Last update said step dad was living with a friend of his and the older son was taking care of the family perfectly fine while going to college.

Uno reverso in action.

Who pays the property taxes & utilities & does the maintenance? If 18 wants rent, I guess 18 is taking on the costs of owning the property too.

he can suck it in my opinion, he asked you you asked him (plus, he asked you to pay rent when he knew he didn't own the house)

Love this, but if I had told my Dad that, I wouldn't be heartless, I'd be HEADLESS!

FAFO

they pay rent.period

F*ck him. Definitely tell them (both) that they will either start paying rent or you will start the eviction process. I hate freeloaders.

You gave them the option as the legal owner of the property. They need to cough up some money each month. Even if is just a minimum of what a normal rent for your area is. Show them you can be an adult by acting like a good landlord.

HAH! This actually depends on their financial situation. If I were the kid I'd be asking for a small rent sufficient to cover taxes and insurance. Not sure who's paying that now though.

Hard decision.

Okay they pay rent and you are responsible for all the lawn mowing. Repairs. Fixes. Bills. Buying of necessities like TP etc. If I were the SF I'd gladly take that offer.

You're digging yourself into a hole here by being spiteful. Who pay the utilities, rates and buys the groceries? If they do and you're asking them to pay rent, then you'll have to start paying most of the bills pertaining to the house on your own. Can you afford that?

He should teach by example. Stepfather needs to pay rent to show OP how to adult

Establish a fair market value, offer him a discount on back rent for all the time he's stayed there, get a deposit, and move out on it. Come up with a lease agreement and index annual rent increases based on inflation plus mark up, the same goddamn thing his generation would do. Either that or you can evict them and put it on the market for people willing to pay. It'll teach your step dad a life lesson and help his character.

Oh sweet karma, charge that a*****e.

Yes make him pay

I'm with ya kid! Good head on his shoulders!

Tell him you're being an adult and asking for rent from the freeloader.

NTA

I'd tell the step-father to become an adult and either pay rent or move out.

The stepfather made a mistake alright. He either showed his true colors and shown how much family he actually considers his stepson to be or he is an idiot as he went about it the wrong way. There ARE ways ask a resident of the house who is supposed to be family to help things around when the child reaches adulthood without starting out by saying after 18 you pay rent or get out.

Presumably you should be paying rent to whoever it is that pays all the bills. Even if you own the house that doesn't mean you just live there for free.

It’s AITA. It didn’t happen.

The reality is that if a "kid" is living in their family home, they're almost never going to be saving any money, and even they are it's not going to be for anything responsible, or practical. Decent parents, who want to instill some basic level of responsibility and awareness of what it means to be an adult, will charge an adult child some fraction of what it would cost to actually rent something, and put that money aside, for a car, security deposit or a down payment on a house. Kid might own the house, but who pays the property taxes, or anything else involved in keeping "his" house functioning enough for him to live in? Property taxes alone mean that the kid is about $30,000 in the hole already...but ya know he doesn't know or think about any of that because he's a kid with no concept of what life actually costs.

If only he could spell it right, might've got away with it >:)

I'm going to be a mushroom farm.

LOL I'm 44 as of week before last.

I’m mean… maybe she likes an open floor plan… 🤷🏼‍♀️

I don’t think the cat is amused

I think that's a spine and rib cage?

This isn't a fail, it's actually funny

What parcel?

That's not AI. That's a program that picks hardcoded answers out of a database. I had a program like that 20 years ago on MSN messenger

Rough crowd.

Wise words....

Pretty sure it’s a plant-based plastic alternative meant to keep the straw clean. They typically dissolve/decompose very rapidly and can be placed in compost & mulch. They have these at the Honolulu airport lounges and there’s a placard that explains this, but I don’t remember what it said exactly.
