Money agreements with family can sometimes lead to long-lasting arguments.

In this story, a man had an arrangement to pay his grandfather $500 a month while living in his house.

During a month that had three paychecks, he still paid the agreed monthly amount.

But his grandfather insisted that he owed an extra $250.

AITA Do I owe $250 still?

When I was living with my grandpa, we agreed that my rent was $500 a month.

We split it as $250 every two weeks.

We did this just to make payments easier.

That was the arrangement at the time.

This man paid $500 on a month that had three paychecks.

One month happened to have three paychecks.

This happened because of how the calendar fell.

I still paid $500 for that month.

The agreement was $500 per month.

It was not “$250 every paycheck no matter what.”

But his grandfather told him he still owed $250.

Back then, he tried to say I owed an extra $250.

He said this was because of that third paycheck.

We argued about it. That situation is actually part of why I moved out.

Nothing was ever paid or settled beyond that.

Years later, his grandfather still asked him for that $250.

Life moved on.

Now, five years later, he called me. He said I still owe him that $250.

I told him the agreement was $500 a month. I paid that amount.

A month having three paychecks does not change the rent.

I also told him I am not revisiting this again.

Here’s a similar thought.

Finally, this one makes a valid point.

If rent is monthly, the extra weeks don’t mean “bonus” payments.
