Well the house is a vacation house and the rents in the area for a normal 1400 sf house is 2400 dollars to 3000 dollars. Wow, what a freeloader!

if this person had their own home which their paying rent for and they will be temporarily staying to at your house then it should be free
but if that person is moving in and isn't paying rent anywhere else then no, let them pay
or pay a small amount of it, something like that
after all they will be in your house using your gas, electric and eating all your food... so who is going to pay for all of that?
believe me, it wont be them, they will make sure of that.

"The House Is Worth Allot"? Are you afraid someone is going to steal your house? lol, kidding. If I had "Allot" of valuables inside my home, I might consider hiring a "Legit" security guard. 2 rottweilers or dobermans would be cheaper. But just some "Thug" off the street offering security for free rent? NO. whats to stop him from lifting all your valuables when you are away, and he will know your schedule on top of it! Not worth the chance, even if you know the person. sooner more likely than later, small things will come up missing here and there, or one day you will come home to a naked house. When it comes to your possessions, you want to go with a legitimate security company that supplies guards. Or, Like I said, a fence, and couple of dogs work fine.

Yes, it's called providing housing for an employee, and you can write it off on your taxes as company housing or providing domestic housing. It used to be quite common some years ago when people had servants living with them in the house (think Alice on the "Brady Bunch" living with the Brady Family)
Just be sure to do a full background check on the people applying for the job, including going to the police station and looking up warrants, police records, and stuff like that. A clean DMV driving record is not always a good indicator, nor is an FBI check. Some petty thieves never have a Federal record, so check at your police station and county records every person who applies for the job. ANd never hire a friend of a friend unless they have a clean background with no arrests for drugs, theft, or anything like that.

No, I'm not sure that's wise either. Because when they'll be guarding the house they'll be thinking about how their room is just RIGHT there and they can just go for a sec, or just close their eyes for a sec. I know that not everyone would do that, but it's a risk. The difference with them not living there is that they'll be away from home, so they feel like they don't really have much of a choice but to stay at their post. I say evaluate the integrity of the guard you get and decide from there.

NO, I would not.
That person would be a free loader because it is not necessary to have a security in your home, unless you are dealing drugs.
The house should be insured.
There are other ways to protect a house without a free loader hangin' in there. Dogs, security systems, a 38 or just lock the doors or put up bars over the windows.

This wouldn't work. The person would have to leave the house sometime, and then the house would be unprotected. Better to just invest in a good alarm system, especially if the house is worth a lot.

YES...if they are an employee of the house then yes free rent and pay is required....they are going to be watching the house at all times even in the early morning while you are asleep so they have a 24/7 job its logical and the only way to go....+ pay

If you have a high end home and it is vacant and on the market, someone living in the home may be well worth it. It will give the bad element out there the idea that they can not just sneek in at night and take things. Like cabinets, sinks, etc.

He'll work on a regular salary and no free room.

yes, but they have to provide security and not just be freeloading. you can test them to find out.
