Did you sign or agree to anything in writing?
If not, maybe you should.
Other than that, it's whatever was agreed upon.

In California, it's the same as renting out a house or apartment. My daughter let a friend rent a room, 'just till she got her check', and the witch was there for 6 months, ate everything in the house except the dog, and never did any kind of cleaning. My daughter had to get an eviction notice, and then a restraining order. Be very careful. This 'woman' WAS a friend.

You have the right to:
1. Get rent/utility money in a timely matter
2. Expect them to help keep the place clean and pest free
3. Not get attacked or robbed by your roommate
You are obligated to:
1. Pay all of the bills on time so that you both are not in the dark or on the street
2. Help keep the place clean and pest free
3. Not attack or rob your roommate.
Interview candidates carefully (there are some crazies out there) and come up with some kind of agreement in writing to protect your rights (and theirs). It just gets everything out there in the beginning so there is no conflict later.

They would be whatever is stipulated in your rental agreement. You are obligated to provide a safe environment that would pass city inspections. You have the right to not allow access to certain areas of your house. Be sure to have any restrictions in writing and signed by both parties. Most rental agreements have quite a few stipulations required by law. Go to a stationary store - usually they sell office products and legal forms, call around - and pick up a standard rental agreement so you have a document to work from when you make up your agreement. These forms are usually only a few dollars.

you may discriminate if you do not use newspaper or public media or telephone ( sign in window) otherwise it is just the usual landlord tenant thing. private parties may discriminate in housing if they share the quarters.
