I made the table. 

I currently live with them now, and it works out well (even though we all live in a single family home) but I have considered, what happens when the tables are turned and it's my parents living under me (even In a multifamily), and that is probably a whole different situation, especially when there is paperwork involved, thanks for the quick feedback everyone!
