I (27F) have an older brother (29M) and sister (31F). I won’t go into full details but both of our parents are now deceased. My mum passed away almost four-years-ago and me and my sister had moved out before then but my brother continued living with my mum and she was a renter.

Anyways. When my mum died my brother became homeless and my sister allowed my brother to move in because at the time she didn’t have children. A year later she fell pregnant with her first child, a son. And now she just found out she’s pregnant with twins. When she had her first child she didn’t ask him to move out as they had a spare bedroom which is their sons room and now they having twins so it’s not enough space.

My sister owns the house jointly with her husband but my brother knows he has to move out. He works full-time and earns a pretty decent wage but the area we come from and lived in our entire life’s is getting pretty expensive.

I have a two bedroom apartment so I do have a second room but I’m using that as an office because my job is mostly remote. My brother asked if he could move in with me and he’d contribute some money each month to the household bills and rent. Although he offered this I said no as I prefer to live alone.

My brother and sister think I’m being selfish as the nearest place he can afford is an hour drive away but he don’t drive. I get that he is my brother but its my place and my decision. The landlord did say a while back that he don’t mind if anyone stays with me longterm as long as I notify him in writing.

So, AITA for not letting my brother live with me?
