[QUOTE="LauraH, post: 742786, member: 22877"] Thanks you two. Your words mean a lot. Sometimes I feel guilty and that I'm acting selfishly. And it's not that I don't want him here per se. But even the ideal "houseguest" can wear on the hosts (and vice versa) when their "bedroom" is also the host's living room. If he had a different temperament and we had an extra room with a bed to accommodate him, it might be different. Then there's also our lease agreement, which states that if we have anyone staying here for more than four days in a calendar month our rent goes up $100 for that month. He's been here off and on for more than four days but as far as I know the landlord's not aware of it. But there is always that possibility and then we would be in real trouble as we're doing good to make our rent at the current rate. There's no way we could afford an additional $100 on top of it. Again, if my son was one would could get and keep a job and pay us the $100 to cover the rent increase, it would be another story altogether. But he's not. Back when our building was managed by an offsite company we could get away with a lot more because management was never here. But the building was bought about four years ago by a man and his nephew, and the nephew lives in one of the apartments so he's usually aware of anything going on with any of the tenants. [/QUOTE]
