Living in Someone Else’s Flat? Then Pay Rent for the Privilege! – I don’t even know if my daughter’s wedding will go ahead. Everyone’s fallen out. And the future son-in-law is losing his mind. Just two weeks to the wedding and he’s acting up. I don’t know how it’ll end—it breaks my heart for my daughter,” complains Anne. – Why is everyone arguing? – You won’t believe it—it’s all because of the flat. We wanted to do something nice for the young couple, so we scraped together all our savings and bought a flat as a wedding present. We even had to sell our lake cottage and garage to make it work. The property’s registered in my daughter’s name. But they’re getting married, so whose name does it matter? – Exactly… – That’s what my husband and I think, too. The flat, of course, is “bare”—it needs renovation and furnishing, but we’ve got no savings left. My husband told the son-in-law we should all pitch in together to renovate so they could move in as soon as possible. But the son-in-law doesn’t want to help with the renovation! – Why not? – Because, he says, it’s not his property. He doesn’t want to invest in a place that isn’t his. He said we could do the work ourselves. He’s willing to buy a few small things, but he refuses to put in too much money. – Then maybe they should just move in as it is, without renovating. – That’s impossible—the flat is completely empty. Plus, the plumbing and electrics need replacing, the floors and walls need work. The old windows are about to fall out—we should change them, really. And at least finish the basics,” says Anne. Personally, I couldn’t live in those conditions, and I’m not that picky. How can young people start out in a dump like that? It’s embarrassing. My future son-in-law has a good job at a big company, but he’s being stingy. I think he wants to save for his own flat—he doesn’t want to end up homeless. – Turns out he wants us to foot the whole bill. He demands we pay for the renovation. So I told him: if you think you’re living in someone else’s property, then you can pay rent! He just smiled and agreed,” Anne sighs. – How does your daughter feel about this? – She’s very upset and cries all the time. She loves him, but we can’t put the flat in his name as well. Now she says she doesn’t need the flat or the renovation. But I don’t like that the man isn’t willing to invest anything in his own family. What happens next? They’re not even married yet, and they’re already talking about divorce and splitting assets,” says Anne. Do you think my future son-in-law should invest in the flat? He plans to live there, raise kids, settle down. Does it really matter whose name is on the deed? Or is his position actually reasonable? What would you do in his place?

Can you believe it, Jane, I honestly just dont know if my daughters wedding will even go ahead at this point.
