If your girlfriend moves in with you then why should she not contribute towards the upkeep of the house.

I read the other day that some guy is charging his g/f rent to live in their shared home.

At first I thought she was crazy going along with it, but on reflection if they marry and later divorce I imagine she'll get a far better payout for having demonstrably contributed financially from the outset.
