[QUOTE="TheyAreLegallyAdultsNow, post: 362139, member: 8405"] I can't help but wonder if homeowner is holding your difficult child to their agreement solely for for your daughter's benefit, to keep her from jumping out of a good home impulsively. Most difficult child's don't realize rules for protection they often see them as only punitive. My daughter-difficult child somehow had a respect for certain rules... she tends to work like the dickens to find a loophole... but usually when a tangible rule is established (like defined conditions for the deposit) she won't buck it. She'll still look for loopholes, but until she can find one, normally she'll honor it. I don't understand how their brains work. I wonder... will the homeowner allow her to have her own microwave & fridge in her portion of their home? Was there a pre-existing understanding between them about a microwave or fridge? I'd recommend looking into that before you purchase anything. I like Tiapet's idea of freecycle... you could even try craigslist. Those two items are biggies for college students. If you can't get them free on freecycle, you may be able to get them cheap from a recent college grad! Keep us posted! :happy: [/QUOTE]
