Question by Sher T: My aunt is in a nursing home, my mom (her sister) moved into her house. Can my mother live there rent free?
I hold Power of Attorney for my aunt. My siblings are certain that my mom can live there rent free or I could just have her pay 1 penny. I heard that it has to continue to provide some revenue for my aunt. At least at fair market value. Who is right? thank you for any help you can provide.

Question by Kalema: Son is 24 years old and lives at home with me,should I allow him to live rent free?
I am a singleworking mother and I put my son through college. He graduated two years ago and has not found a job. He has been on a few interviews,but not consistantly. I give him information,but he has not looked into anything. He hangs out at the clubs with friends all weekend,and will do chores only if I pay him. I do not want to see him on the street,but I take care of him, and three younger siblings all on my paycheck. Any advice would be apppreciated.

Question by Bill: Can my child live rent free in a 2nd home that I own without tax consequences?
This is a home in VA. The house was bought for the purpose of providing her with a place to live. What are the consequences with the IRS? Is this considered to be a gift?

Best answer:

Answer by knowitall
Not unless you deed the house to her. Have it appraised, then give her ,000 worth each year until in full. There will be no taxes on this ( there still will be Real Estate taxes, of course).

Question by Lets get this straight: Break lease on apartment to rent a home instead?
My husband and I have found a big home in the neighborhood across the street from where our son goes to school. We would like to break our lease b/c it isn’t up until next June 2010. What are the rules and regulations on breaking a lease as far as paying it back? Is it a lump sum that we fork over or can we work something out that we can pay in payments?

Best answer:

Answer by HeatM1ser
The rules for ending the lease early will be stated in the lease itself. If there are no rules listed, then you can safely break the lease. If the landlord tries to sue you, he has a contractual agreement which does not define the terms of breaking your lease.

If you own a company and the company pays home office rent, does the company have to 1099 the owner? In other words, I assume the office rent is rent exp to the company and the monies rec’d by the owner is rental income. How is the rental home rent income classified on the personal tax return.

Since I rent, can the price for the professional pest control Orkin, Terminix or whoever, can that legally be deducted from the cost of the rent?
Can the entire price be deducted or only partially?
This is considered a home improvement, something the landlord could tell future renters about.

I am a home owner who is looking to rent my house out to a baby safe home. I would like information on how much i should ask for rent [preferably the average cost of rent] and how much my income would be.

Son recently started receiving disability, and part of the “contract” is for him to pay rent to me. Nothing has changed except that he gets money from SSA, and then he pays rent. He doesn’t work, and I assume he will not be filing taxes himself. I am assuming he will no longer be my dependent. I just want to know what to anticipate with this new monthly money coming in and how it impacts my taxes.
