I presume they wouldn't move to a smaller house if you weren't there, so charging you for the physical space doesn't make sense to me. Sometimes it's not about the cost as much as it's about the worth. It might not cost anything to have someone live with you, beyond a few bucks in increased utilities, but the worth is determined by the parties involved. A spare bedroom in my house, with food for one, might cost $200. It would take much, much more than that for me to let someone move in that room. The privacy would be worth a lot more than the cost of $200. cm
