Forums Chit Chat Charging Your Child Rent Reply To: Charging Your Child Rent July 9, 2018 at 3:18 pm #362 burton 25 Posts Mine pays £50 per month. He keeps his own room clean but I do his washing and most of his evening meals. I don’t think you can realistically get back what it costs, but to me it’s more of a token gesture to get them used to having outgoings. I wouldn’t dream of cleaning sons room myself. I’d ask him to do it if it wasn’t up to scratch, but it would feel like an invasion of his privacy if I even went in there uninvited.
