To answer OP question directly- how much to charge... I would look at the going rate for midling 3 bedroom apartment in the area and charge 1/3.

You are doing the right thing.
Figure out market rate in your area and charge him a 3rd of it.
Suggest roommates if he has friends

I'd never charge my kids rent but I'd also never let them live with me after school is over

Slightly off topic but these conversations generally center around a boy living at home, seems alot more acceptable for a girl.
On that note, one of my best friends just kicked his 20 year old daughter out. He started doing rent a year ago, she could never hold a job more than a few weeks so never had rent, so he kicked the little girl out.
Abaracadabara.... like magic..... she is now holding a steady job and paying her rent on her own...
Kids know how to manipulate their parents from birth.
Especially daughters to their daddies.

dont need then money, its just a motivator to wake up. He is a good kid just not extremely motivated to grow up.
If you do end up charging him, and don’t need the money, you should take a page from finebaumshair’s pop and save that coin and give it to him when he moves out. You’ll have gotten your point across, and your son will have a nice chunk of change to get himself set up.

Your friend is doing good things. That must be tough. If you don't mind, next time you guys have a beer, buy him one on me. Just Bill it through Chicken.

We have had that conversation and did have plans to do something with the money for him. Just depends on what he would need it for down the road...

YOU seem to have an attitude. Maybe I should head up to DC and put a boot up your arse?

How many good boy points do you get for paying rent?
Posted on 1/23/18 at 7:36 pm to LanierSpots
I know a guy who collects rent from his kids but puts it away for them to have when they move out. That's a pretty solid solution and incentive IMO.
ETA - the kid doesn't know it's being saved for him.
