No, he owns the place and I am renting half the basement and he's giving me a very good deal. Like I would have been pretty fucked if he had not come along and offered it when he did. I also don't really think it's unreasonable to not be loud and annoying when you're sharing space with people. There's just times where it's like "damn I wish I could just use my circular saw right now instead of waiting for the afternoon" or shit like that. It is what it is. It's more frustrating that I've been working and advancing in my field for 15 years now and still can't afford a fucking house of my own than anything he's doing.

yeah no sounds like a decent deal and you're a kickass house mate to have, I also WFH so I have often wondered about how a roomate/housemate relationship would work from a business / financial perspective, appreciate the data point.
