Answer 1

I don't pay rent, but my son does. He lives in Manhattan, near the business district. He pays $3600 per month for what I term a 1.5 bedroom on the second floor. From observation, I would guess it to be about a thousand square feet.

As you will see from your various responses, rents vary WILDLY by location.

Answer 2

Yes, you are legally obliged to pay your rent - CCJs and bad references can make future renting a big problem. On the other hand, don't pay for electic you haven't had - so if it's £10 a week and it was off for 3 days then you pay £5.71. I'd also have a word with the tenancy relations officer at your local council as this arrangement sounds very dodgy.
