Questions for Home Sharing payment method and ownership.

I like to setup Home Sharing with my Father in Law so when house or baby-sitting they have access to the content.

The idea that I will become the Organizer using my payment method.

Does this mean my father law will lose his content as soon as I add him?

Also If he purchases something can he still use his payment method? If not what will happen to the content that he purchased but was payed with my payment method?

Thank you

There is no charge for home sharing, there is for family sharing, what exactly are you hoping to achieve, it's not clear which one you need at this stage.

Then no he won't lose any content. He will only be able to pay for his own content with pre paid iTunes credit (iTunes vouchers). You will both be able to play content he purchases.

Thank you, what about if he purchases something under his account using my Payment Method (this how we will set it up) and he leaves the Family Sharing.

Will he transfer the items that where purchases this way?

Thanks

They will belong to him, purchases can't be transferred.
