28-year-old pays $600 a month to live in parents' granny annexe, refuses to pay anymore after finding out 26-year-old sister pays nothing to live in their house: "They offered to bump my rent to $900'

In this story, a woman moved into her parents' granny annexe while she was saving for a deposit towards her own home. Her younger sister had been living in the main house ever since finishing her postgraduate studies.

The woman was paying $600 a month to stay in the annexe, and she overheard her parents on a call with their bank. It revealed that they planned on raising her rent to $800-900, and when she confronted them, she realized her sister was not paying any rent.

They agreed to get the younger sibling to pay something, but she refused. The woman, therefore, refused to pay any more rent, but she wasn't sure if she had been too harsh.
