Working Son Annoyed After Mum Starts Charging Him Monthly Rent For Living In Her House

• A frustrated 25-year-old man has opened up about plans to move out of his parent's house in protest
• Johnny says his mother sent a message informing him he would be charged monthly rent after learning he had gotten a job
• "I already pay for my meals and only have my small bedroom to call my own in their house," he lamented

Johnny, a 25-year-old working son, expressed frustration after his mother asked him to start paying rent for living in her house.

Having paid $60 (GH¢767.22) a week for a few years, Johnny recently secured a permanent position at a new job that pays well.

Johnny says he feels the new rent was too high for what he was getting and is considering moving out.

He added that the rent increase was unjustified because he pays for his meals and occupies only a small bedroom in his parents' house.

"I can rent a studio apartment three or four times the size of my room for a few hundred more, or could rent a room with friends for less than what mum is trying to charge me," he lamented.

Johny plans on moving out

Expressing his disappointment, Johnny mentioned that he rarely interacted with his parents besides when getting off work.

"If I am paying $600 a month I think I would deserve my own spaces around the house also as I would with a landlord," he expressed.
