[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 612896, member: 17269"] I've often thought of paying rent on a cheap place for my son (also 19, but living on the streets, not at home). My fear is that he will end up with all the deadbeats and druggies he meets in the city parks living with him, they will trash the place, and some how I'll be on the hook. Never forget the "I'll be on the hook" part...when you loan them money, when you cosign, when you call in favors for them, put them on your insurance, take out a joint credit card, anything. Its fine to be on the hook if you can afford it and choose it knowingly and thoughtfully. Just think hard about if your daughter will leave the place "clean and broomswept" as most rentals require...and if not, if you are ok with that and it is worth it to get some peace in your house. Good luck to you. I have been in very similar places. [/QUOTE]
