My Partner Learned I Rent Out the House My Dad Gifted Me & Demands 50 Percent of the Money

An 18-year-old woman let her boyfriend move in without telling him she owned the two-story building and rented out the lower floor for $500. Since he had housing issues, she let him stay rent-free, only splitting grocery costs.

One day, her tenant reported a broken freezer. While arranging a replacement, her boyfriend overheard and questioned why she was paying for it. When she revealed she was the landlord, he became furious, accusing her of hiding the truth and claiming landlords were greedy. He then demanded 50% of the rental income, calling her selfish when she refused.

Despite her apologies, he gave her the silent treatment and later insisted she owed him money. She ended things and called her dad for support. Her boyfriend lashed out, insulted her, and stormed off. Online, most people sided with her, advising her to change the locks.
