So, house just got an addition. New walls, paint, floors, you name it. I live in the guest bedroom as the sole resident after my roommate moved out. That being said, I moved into the new addition, taking the guest room for a host of reasons.
Then, parents started getting weird. They plan to move into the addition when they retire, and have been trying to get me to buy furniture such as a new bed, headboards and mattress for this master bedroom. As a single guy I suggested that I didn't need that space, which could actually be used to host friends who need a place to stay. They shut down and started getting viscerally angry.
Now, every dinner with my parents eventually leads to an unprovoked lecture about being master of the house and having the master bedroom. They say my guests will try to own the house if they stay there, and that I'll get sick because I won't own my house anymore. Today, my dad sent a long self-righteous essay about defending his house and that he needs to slap a lock on that entire part of the addition because the master bedroom belongs to the family. While mostly empty, that room is the only room with closets and storage for home items.
tl;dr My parents are trying to take over the master bedroom in a house I rent from them. I'm sadly not well positioned to move... What's a hospitable tenant to do?
