Hello Ladies of AKA and SFs:
I would not feel obligated to pay her portion of the rent at all. If I am WORKING and part of my compensation is rent then, in essence, my rent is not "free" at all. Additionally, I would probably not go running around telling everyone my rent was "free" including my roommate. If it came up, I wouldn't lie. But I wouldn't come running home ranting and raving about how I don't have to pay rent anymore either. If I normally gave the other person my portion of the rent and THEY actually mailed it off/walked it down to the office, I may have to tell. If I take care of my portion of the rent myself and she hers, then she would just have to think I was still paying...why not?
Would the stry be any different if my parents paid all my bills? Would she expect me to kick in since (technically) I am not paying out of my pocket?
Just my opinion.
PEACE
