How long can someone live with parents till they charge u for rent

My parents are a bit more generous - I've saved the money I've earned from work for when I move out (at uni at the moment). So when I graduate they can finally be rid of me as soon as possible

Paying some form of rent is just a common courtesy. And sometimes it is actually beneficial to the household. But whatever you pay mum and dad, it's still going to be far, far less than renting your own gaff.
Even if your lucky enough to have parents who are rolling in it, it still boosts your own self esteem (imho) if you're paying your own way.
Personally, if I ever had a family, I'd change the locks the day they left full time education.

I started paying £160 a month two or so years ago when i got my first job and got £1k+ a month. They were pretty happy with it and still are, as im saving most of it so i can rent my own place and although i'll like my own privacy and stuff i know im getting it easy now compared to paying for everything on my own.
I think that you should have to pay rent when you get into some form of job, and your parents can decide (whether it be full/part-time).
However, being only 15, i have all this to come, how much more expensive would it be to rent your own place? possibly with a room-mate or girlfriend?
As im sure some of your guys have experienced it?
Cheers for any advice guys,

Same, when I was on ~£1k a month I paid £160, im now up to earning £2k+ a month im paying £300.
Yup if i get a better job with more pay such as yourself i'll happily pay more, hopefully i'll have moved out by then though as for £300 i could add a bit more and have my own or share with a mate.
pay my mum 1 weeks wages a month, so £100
im at uni and work weekends.
can't believe some people are saying "nothing because my family arent tight"
its not tight! if you earn your own money pay your own way! its not free to live you know as much as you make think it is! my mum has never had enough money for the both of us to live! i always help my mum out when i can

My parents would never make me pay to live at home.
No kids of mine would have to pay either.

As soon as you are in full time employment (or part time and not in education (because you are lazy)) than you should be paying rent. My sister is paying £100 to live here while she saves up for her marriage so I assume it would be the same for me.
Secured loan on the parents name? (or whatever the correct term for it.)

You are the exception rather than the rule then. Most young people leave home without a single idea how to manage their finances and how expensive the real world is.
Some of this falls on the parents shoulders for not teaching them and in my eyes not charging them rent does them no favors later in life (although not in your case!

My step-dad kicked off big time when I was unable to pay last months rent of £80.
Errr, I don't know if you hadn't realised, but I've been out of work for 4 months
What ticks me off big time is how whenever I question why my step-brother doesn't pay ANY rent at all (and he uses more food/electricity etc than I do), both my Mum and step-dad go on about how he shouldn't pay as he isn't working full time.
Well hellooooo... I don't work at all! Grrrrrrr... (that was last month's conversation... I'm back in work now, thank god - couldn't take another month of moaning, lol).

Get a job then or sell yur car lazy NO SWEARING - READ THE RULES
I'm at uni at the moment and nearly 21 and i live at home and dont pay my mum or dad a penny. Nor have they asked me as they dont expect me to, as soon as i graduate though and start earning a decent enough wage i'll start paying them money. I still know the value of money just as much as any other person who 'pays their own way'.
