Probably depends on what subculture you're in. This isn't uncommon in the rocky mountain area, in the white mormon suburbanite type demographic.
In the West Coast I saw teens working and paying rent but only in working class families because housing was so expensive. So more like helping the parents pay their landlord than the parents acting as a landlord.
Yeah we had a lot of that kind of thing, where you get a kid who starts helping provide for family finances when they hit age 18 (some as minors), but it was never like a parents "charging them rent" kinda situation. And I've certainly never seen that kind of behavior encouraged in any way. Anyone who charged their kids rent would be considered real assholes. But I'm from Appalachia and Midwestern social circles.
