Definitely depends on local housing costs. I would check lower end 4 bedroom rentals in your area, maybe take 50-70% of a typical rent rate if you can.

If that's the case though, you're going to want this arrangement formalized in a lease agreement. It's not ideal to begin with that he has the power to kick you out of the home to begin with, and that's made even more dangerous if you don't have the tenant protections afforded by a signed lease.

@BlueVeins it’s expensive to rent here even a 2 bedroom usually exceeds what I can pay even with multiple jobs

@MommaBear IDK what to tell you. It's nice that you want to pay but you obviously can't compensate him for this arrangement. Maybe 400 a month would be a suitable gesture of good will.

@MommaBear It's not just there, it's expensive EVERYWHERE! I hope my offer wasn't an insult. It wasn't intended to be, I was just trying to be fair to you. If he wants you to pay more he would say so. So I think you should always start low. You can always come up if you need to.
