You cannot offer free rent to any player under any circumstance.  I specifically remember reading this on a questions & answer listing on a cardboard insert of a Monopoly game.

<p>Is it legal to allow free rent agreements as part of a real estate transaction in Monopoly?  Specifically I'd like to purchase a property and sell two additional properties but only if both parties in the transaction receive 'free rent' as long as we own the properties.</p>
