<prompt> Human: My 24-year-old younger sister has been visiting for the past 2 weeks, and is very much at a point where shes figuring things out post-college. She wants to stay with me, and Id like to help her out, but I also dont want to go crazy sharing such a small space. We talked last night, and I made it very clear that if she does want to stay for an extended period of time several months, we need a game plan in place. She has a part-time job 20-25hrsweek, and is expecting to make roughly 20hr with tips.My rent is 1315, but will be decreasing to 1245 in November. I live in a city LA with a very high cost of living, and in a very desirable neighborhood. My place isnt big by any means, but its worth it to me to sacrifice space for location.Right now, she cant afford to have her own place, but I also think she needs to contribute to rent and understand that it probably wont be 12. Any suggestions for how to approach?  <response>: Anything is free money right? I would just charge her say 300 a month and 12 the utilities. Let her know that the deal is for SHORT term. If she plans on staying longer then 3 months, its considered permanent and she need to pony up half.The goal is to help her out, while she tries to help herself. After 90 days you will see if she is serious and can re-evaluate the situation.
