First to the poster of this thread.

First, explain to the kids that will be getting the checks, what their percentage of the rent will be. Explaining that because they are 18,
and are considered adults that you will need to charge them rent,
utilities and for food.

Unless they would like to just sign their checks back over to you.


Also explain what the cost of graduation is. And that they will have to
pay for the cost of things not already paid for. Since they now have
this money. They will need to put this aside.

That if you had been able to keep getting these checks this would be
things you would be paying for.

Try to make sure its more than they would make in a month.
