There's also the Alberta adult interdependence act which is defined as three years of living together before you become common law unless you have a kid or have signed an agreement. That link from the law firm seems to be somewhat consistent with that, if you're less than that time you need to show that you hurt your prospects by moving in with someone or made financial sacrifices or contributed equity financial or otherwise to the property. If it's you allowing your gf in her 20s to move in with you at a decreased rate I'd have to think you're safe, there's no sacrifice on her part being made there. At least I'd hope so, that's basically the situation I'm in right now.
