How much rent to charge gf?

Take a bit towards the extra living cost (bills etc) but tell her to put the rest towards paying off her debt so it gets paid off quicker. For example if you agree on £400 a month, take £200 and slap the rest on debt/occasional treat

OK, this is a very big question, but there is a solution :D

as she is your girlfriend, you could part ways after a little time, but hey you could marry her you never know,

solution: you agree a small rent, that she pays into an acount that she and you own,

if you split, you give her half and that is her deposit on a new place

if you marry, its the start of a deposit for a new home :D

thank me later
 
I cannot believe you even need to ask this, let alone it require 62 answers of how to achieve such a simple thing.
What the hell is wrong with you?
 
You want to charge her rent when you own the place? Oh lawd, I can't see this relationship lasting long.

Split the bills and food shopping and leave it at that, don't even think about getting a calculator out.

As above, shared bills. House insurance and upkeep to the property don't count with regards to shared bills, you'll be in danger of her owning part of your house if you let her contribute too much. :)
 
Or charge her more, but instead of keeping it, stick it in a savings account and give her it back later to pay a chunk of debt off.
 
Enough to keep you supplied in goodies and toys, not enough to entitle her to any of the house if you break up :p
 
Anyone else wondering how long it will take the 'Help! GF kicked me out of my own Flat' Thread to appear?
 
rule of thumb is, 6 months or so together and if she has paid anything at all, she can take half of what you own, ie flat, so for me what ever you do get it in writing that she is paying you lodgings / rent / board or something like that and make sure it's done properly so you don't loose out if it goes pair shaped.
 
If she puts money into the maintenance of the property and helps look after it, what rights would she have as a cohabitee?
