The mortgage is fully under my name as is the house (edit: I also am paying the entire downpayment). I'm collecting rent because, obviously, it's only fair. Also because if things don't work out ( not expected but hey who knows) by demonstrating I wasn't responsible for her rent I won't have to shell out some sort of common law allowance or w/e. From my cursory knowledge of Common-law if I make her pay for rent I am not financially responsible for her in the future if we break up.
edit2: Seems that in AB common law has a different name and doesn't even occur until 3 years of living together.
