I do have to say, it’s really odd for me (as a parent) to think of parents demanding rent from their kids in this economy. I understand she is an adult, but I would never force my daughter into this position. It’s even worse if the room she is renting is in their home already, which is something I thought only Americans do.
I do believe children learn the value of money more when they earn it themselves and don’t get everything they want, but a roof over their head is not a luxury.
I would love to hear differing opinions on this!
Renting from parents is a thing???
5000 of them are renting from their parents. Do the parents pay the rent and the students give the Kela housing money to the parents? Or do the parents actually own some property that their kid is renting?
Also, there’s a sentence about student should just get a job to cover the lost income from Kela… Which jobs? Maybe in Helsinki, Turku or Tampere it’s easier but anywhere else I’m not to sure.
Interesting reform that will just make it harder for kids to leave their parents home I guess.
Perhaps its a owned appartment thing, and parents pay taloyhtiö things, and kid (obviously as grown person) aids them.
A Finn here: many of the commenters seem to think she is living with the parents and and parents are demanding rent from her. No, she lives in an apartment her parents have bought as an investment (or inherited or whatever) and she pays rent *because* then you get the government aid.
If you live with your parents (in the same house), you don’t get any money from government, paid you rent or not and was it the new or the old law.
It is of course good to get benefits to the family but shouldn’t be possible legally. Tax payers money is misused.
couldnt have chosen a worse example of who this is hurting lol
It just reverts to a system which was in effect before 2017. Title is just typical alarmistic bs.
