Living with your significant other can be a great experience. It can be a great way to save money and share the responsibilities of maintaining a household. But what happens when one partner is allowed to live rent-free while the other pays the rent? A Reddit user asked if they were in the wrong for refusing to split the rent with their boyfriend.
They had been living together since their freshman year of college, sharing all expenses 50/50. After graduation, both of them got jobs in Chicago and moved into an apartment together. However, the user’s dad, who works in real estate, offered them a place to live for free in one of his investment properties.
The dad stipulated that the boyfriend would have to pay him $400 a month for rent – a fraction of the $2100 monthly rent a tenant would pay for the property. The boyfriend is angry that the user won’t split the rent, since they had done so for the past two years. The user argues that the apartment they are living in is much nicer and that their boyfriend is paying far less than what he paid in college.
Is the idea of charging one partner rent and not the other so crazy? Should the user pay half of the rent out of fairness? Let’s see the full story of the post.

Dad’s making a bold demand for his daughter’s boyfriend. Is it fair?
A woman, 23, had been dating her boyfriend Jake (M23) since their freshmen year of college. After graduating, they both got jobs in Chicago and he generously allowed them to live in one of his properties rent-free…but there’s a catch: he’s making Jake pay $400 a month, a significantly lower amount than what he was paying in college. Her Dad claims that he wants to make sure Jake is with her for the right reasons and not because of the free rent.
Is this demand fair? What should she do? In this post , we’ll explore the situation further and look at comments and reactions from people online.
