I knew he was somewhat misrepresenting the situation.
Right. So it's not that she wants to move in, and have him join her at some point. It's more a question of WHEN they'll move to the other place together. She sees a potential nest she can start feathering, while he prefers his apt. and its more convenient commute.
How does the OP know they're paying the taxes? How does he know they're not slowly wrecking the place? Does he do bi-annual inspections? Would he (or his friends) even know what to look for to head off any problems? (Steady leaks or other water damage issues, not to mention cleanliness problems that might attract pests)
Well, from experience, I used to rent a house with a friend from his parents. We paid property tax every month for his dad + utilities, which the tax money had to be in his dad's account by a certain date. We had some issues happen over the time we spent there, and if we couldn't repair it with the stuff we had in house, we called the actual owner who would come over with the stuff, and we'd repair it.
I would hope that his friends were responsible enough to call if they have any issues with the house as well as making on-time payments. If they aren't doing any of that, yeah he's going to have problems.
So I inherited a house in a more residential area of my city. However it is not a practical location for me to commute so I live in a different part of town. I basically let a bunch of my friends move in if they paid the property tax and maintenance along with some "rent". However my gf wants to move into the house and wants all my friends out. I didn't see myself moving there until kids were in the equation. Should I concede to my gf on this one?
well, if I were you, I'd never mix finance with pleasure. GF = pleasure, house = business. But that is just me. If want to play house with her, then go for it.
Why not talking to your relatives or parents about this?

Sure...if she pays the rent!

OP is basically creating some made up drama here for a thread.
