Asking for other people’s money implies some ethical responsibilities to the donors. It isn’t enough to glibly say, “there’s the door.” If it’s fully your house, fully paid for by you, then you have every right to tell your visiting friends to “hit the door.” But…if your visiting friends help you pay your rent, you owe them more than a “get the hell out.” Sure…sure….you can call the cops, and since your name is on the deed, the cops will kick your friends out. But what you’ve just done is violate the good faith your friends had placed in you.Legally, you owe them nothing; but ethically, you owe them a lot.
At a minimum, you owe them a hearing and an explanation.
