There's the first worry - he's talking bollocks and as he is used to running a business he is probably quite aware that he's talking bollocks too. If he bought a flat, or half a flat, for his own daughter and she lived in it without paying him rent the inland revenue would have no interest in it at all. If he were to sell the house after his daughter graduated and there was a profit, assuming that he owns his "primary dwelling" himself, there would be a capital gains tax implication. As there would for anyone else whether they owned their own business or not.

So parent A is a tight-fisted bastard who thinks up excuses to avoid forking out any money at all.

However, let's imagine that parent A and bhis daughter emigrated to Australia (it's betterthan imagining that they got run over by a bus). Parent B and his daughter would then be looking for a person - or persons - to share the flat. Anyone moving in would expect to pay the going market rent. And that is what girl a should pay.
