A: Has he gotten a sweet deal! He got money for his share of the house, you two invested a lot in fixing it up, and now he is under the impression he is still a co-owner. If you and your wife rent out the property a la Airbnb, then it would be perfectly fine for you to say you’ll give his family a discount when they stay, but that you need the income to make up for the money you poured into renovating the place. If you don’t rent it out, then someone, that would be your wife, needs to tell him that he chose to get bought out, so while they are happy to have him and his family as guests occasionally, they need to ask about staying. She can explain that frequent weeklong stays just don’t work. Surely, with the money he got from you for his share, he and his family can afford to pay for their own vacation somewhere else.
