Actual room and board costs for years 2-4

[laralei]

I have heard of a parent who is a lawyer marking up the lease to their satisfaction - but it is what it is. Understand it all? Most make assumptions. I don’t think it is listed as a security deposit to be returned. They have a term for it, but I just know via word of mouth that we won’t get it back.

I have also heard of parents doing this, or trying to. The leases really do favor the rental agencies, especially for the large complexes, which is where many of the kids end up. I think it tends to be more successful when they are individual homes or small complexes.

The next couple of years are going to very enlightening.
