ANSWER:

False.

Janet Frame did not live in the basement of John Money's house for over 30 years.

For over thirty years, she did frequently visit John Money while she was in the USA, and she stayed in his house, sometimes in a basement bedroom, sometimes in an upstairs bedroom. Her last visit to Baltimore was in October 2000. John Money also regularly stayed with Janet Frame while he was visiting New Zealand. He stayed with her at her home in Dunedin just weeks before she died in January 2004.
