Is your College Grad Moving Back Home? 4 Things you Should Discuss Beforehand

Is there an end date to the arrangement? 
This can be negotiable down the line, but it is important that everyone is clear on how long the returnee can stay until they move out. Is it 6 months, a year? Defining this from the start will help your new grad stay on track to finding a job and moving out on their own.

Will they be expected to contribute financially? 
There is no free lunch in the real world. It is okay for parents to charge rent, especially to help pay for groceries, utilities or cable. If you feel weird charging your grad, work out other arrangements such as chores, projects around the house, errands, etc.

Are there house rules? 
College kids are used to doing what they want, when they want. It is important to clarify expectation on household chores, overnight guests, or curfews. Define 3 things you cannot stand to live with and try to be flexible with other limits.

Are there expectations about looking for a job? 
No one likes a free-loader! Is your grad actively seeking opportunities every day or are they laying around the house and doing nothing? Are they required to apply to at least one job per day,  attend job fairs or networking events every month?
