So I think I have a roommate problem. I've 'adopted' a third 'housemate'.

The problem is that she treats our place as if it is her place..

How so? Does she request space in the fridge? Is she always there when he's not, or come and go as she pleases? Has she hung her own decorations or made a lasting mess or chided you on chores? We need examples.

I'm pretty sure she has keys. He will get up and go to school, she will stay stay behind for a few hours.

I'll come home, she will be there, he isn't.

Well, her sleeping in a little and leaving later in the morning wouldn't be a big deal to me. But yeah, if she's letting herself in, hanging out when no one is home, etc.. that would be bothersome and deserves a discussion.
 
Her name doesn't need to be "on the lease" to get a key. Obviously the roomie thinks his GF needs to come and go as she pleases, BUT if anything happens, its absolutely on her.

The line with me is drawn at this:

Are her tampons in the house?

If so - she must pay rent.
 
Just remember if anything goes down where there's an agreement in who's paying what for rent - get that crap noted and signed by everyone involved + witness. Keep copies. You will thank yourself later.

As for the rest of the situation - you need to set the expectations. If they can't be met - you may find it easier to move out.
