re: Does your non-married significant other split living expenses 50/50 with you?

He should pay the mortgage and charge her rent (with a written lease). Once she starts paying the mortgage with him, she is going to have some legal claim to the home equity when things go south (and they will).

Been there, done that. No she won’t.

I believe that's her gripe (and that of a lot of the commentors on the video). It's her stance that it's HIS mortgage, so he shouldn't get the benefit of her contributing to equity regardless of how they label the money she gives him every month.
If I were to guess, considering how she's approached this, she likely doesn't want to pay a flat "rent" amount at all.
What's odd to me is that people feel like he's taking advantage of her, when in reality she's getting to live in a much larger/nicer place for much less than she's paying now, all while getting to pocket more money.
If they get married, it's a moot point. If they break up, she still saved a ton of money.
Regardless of where she lives, someone is gaining equity from her "payments". Not sure why she thinks it's bad that her boyfriend be the one to gain it instead of a random landlord.
