   Well how much will the girlfriend be using in the apartment? I mean I   
   the guy also will be using the common areas such as somewhere to eat,   
   study and hang around I'd go for something like $150-200.   
      
   The only difference between the girl and him is that she might keep some   
   of her stuff in her boyfriends room. It all depends on how much of his   
   invisible stuff (like food, clothes and books) you'll actually start   
   seeing after the first month or so.
