Forums Chit Chat Charging Your Child Rent Reply To: Charging Your Child Rent July 9, 2018 at 3:18 pm #363 jaz 22 Posts My mum used to charge me £20.00 a week and as soon as I started working full time she said I had to pay rent, which I did. Get it into your daughters head as soon as poss, that she needs to start paying now she can afford to. The longer its left the harder it is, it just has to be a token amount at first if she’s not earning that much.
