Hi! We usually see problems ahead with a live-in arrangement. Of course we hear about things that don’t work. No care for you expected now, but ‘room mate’ is expected to help if needed? Time commitments that aren’t flexible? Money – either from you for care you receive or to you for rent or contributions? No cooking or housework - but who is going to do it? How to terminate if it doesn’t work out?
Live-in arrangements can turn very nasty indeed, with the unpaid ‘tenant’ having no cash to ‘escape’. Or alternatively the live-in can end up with occupancy rights you didn’t expect. Of course, that’s not what you have in mind, but it sometimes turns out that way. It’s a problem if nothing is in writing.
Perhaps it might be worth trying out with a smaller commitment. A couple of days per week of company, with free lunch thrown in? A paid companion for set hours? For evening company, a student might be good – with termination at the end of the college year, which solves a few‘rights’ issues. Trying out might give you clearer ideas about the terms you might use for a bigger commitment.
Why does it have to be a live in? Maybe someone else is also looking for companionship as well to get together sometimes but keep separate homes to keep it less complicated .,
Why don't you go to a local senior center, or join some clubs that meet in the daytime or do some volunteerism? This way you can shop for companions and friends in a safer, less committed way. Once you get a weirdo roommate that makes your life a living hell and then have to evict, the shine comes off the whole "roommate/companion" thing.
I am about to apply. I am kidding you here, Uesh, but the truth is that advertising your availability in your area is a great idea. Be certain you speak with and have contract with someone you invite into your home, as once you do that they are THERE and your home is theirs. You need a solid rental agreement drawn up and agreements as to amounts of privacy, cleanliness requirements, and etc. This is a great idea but it requires a whole lot of careful vetting of applicants! Advertise in Nextdoor or in advertising opportunities in your area and I wish you the best of luck.
