No....thats why I WILL neva, evah rent someone's "room in their house" again. They are nice the 1st couple of months, then after a few months the bastards turn into full blown prison security guards. Can't have friends over, cant park here, cant park there, blah blah blah, well I'm paying the ****ing rent here!
I know its the OP's option at the moment, and sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
If I wanted to be a smart mouth *****, I'd say,
"well how about we take off x amount from the rent to cover my maintenance bills. Afterall, I rented your place with a driveway so I could save money and work on my own car. If I can't do that, lower my rent."

Wishing you luck in the future where rentals, legalese in all areas and basic growing up issues are concerned. Cheers, seasons greetings and happy new year!
