Farhan, an impoverished university student, and his millionaire father enter into an arrangement where Farhan agrees that he will keep the front- and backyards of the family property mowed, and he will 'do a bit' to keep the gardens looking tidy. In return, his father agrees to pay him a weekly allowance of $200. His father had previously used a garden contractor to do the job and paid him $350. They live on a one-hectare property, and the mowing alone takes half a day a week.

After four weeks, Farhan's father tells him that he can't afford to pay $200 a week. He says that Farhan should be doing the work for nothing, as it is the responsibility of the whole family to look after the property; besides, he says, Farhan is getting free board and lodging.

Advise Farhan.

What kind of contract is this? What would you prefer Farhan to do in this specific scenario? Please elaborate prope
