I don't know what your rent is, but that seems like you would be taking advantage of someone who is down on their luck. I don't see how 1/3 is fair, but that's just me. I've had family stay with me, and never charged anything except their long distance charges. I stayed with my brother after my divorce and thankfully he never charged me 1/2 of his rent, I couldn't have paid it.

Maybe $200 and have him help with groceries?

Just to get one thing clear, my brother is not "down on his luck." Right now he has a full time job whre he lives, and he simply wants to move to Denver, so we are going to let him live with us to make it easier. I don't think 1/3 of everything is quite right, but I think he needs to help with utilities (the ones that will rise, like water and electric) and rent when he gets a job.
