Disagree on the room/board: we charge $350 a month just for room
(includes private bathroom and cable TV and DSL and use of laundry
facilities in basement). Let him pay for his own board out of his
hourly wages.

So you think he'll eat more than $1050 worth of food in a month?

Not necessarily: just saying that allowing him to spend his $$ as he
wishes on food relieves the OP of the responsibility of providing
enough/appropriate food/drink and avoids the risk of arguments in that
arena. Also frees up $$ for relative to use for gas.
