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 i-NV-no1: how to live rent free. for example being a land lord?
im just curious if your a landlord or manager of an apt building do you get to live for free? what are your responsibities and also how do you become a landlord or manager?

Best answer:

Answer by Mrs HarleyBrat
“caretakers” will generally take care of cleaning halls and sidewalks – general building clean up and get either reduced rent or free rent
“Managers” are the on site person you see if you rent and you need somethnig fixed or pay your rent – they generally get free rent
depends on whether or not you want an outside job (which you could do in conjunction with a caretaker position) or you want to be home all the time (like a manager)
Every company operates differantly so you’d have to call a few places to see what they have set up for compensation
good luck

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?

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.

Hi, this question refers to rental agreements in Paris, France.

I know a little about what’s asked by French estate agents when renting a property in France and I’m aware that as a general rule they ask the tenant to prove that they earn over 3 times the amount of the rental price. What I’d like to know is “would it be possible for me to combine my salary with that of my girlfriend in order to rent a better place than what is available to me at 1/3 of my salary?”

I want to know if the decision to rent a place to someone is governed by law in this respect or whether the “3 times more than the monthly rent” rule is just a guideline that can be adapted in accordance with the combined financial situation of the prospective tennants.

Any help would be much appreciated – bear in mind that this question is directed mainly at either French people or people with experience living there as an ex pat.
That’s a useless answer. I posted this question elsewhere on Yahoo! answers and have received 13 very informative answers so far which have given me a great deal of hope and motivation in my search for a French rental agreement that is adaptable to my needs. I think you are underestimating the WORLD part of WWW and for that alone I won’t be giving you the best answer – your answer is a waste of space and shows a distinct lack of intelligence, not to mention a dire command of the English language.
