What's Fair?

Been dating boyfriend 2.5 years, first time living together.

He's purchased a townhouse with 3 apartments. 2 will be let and 1 will be ours.
His salary is $180K, mine is $85K and we split expenses in that ratio.

My question is, how much "rent" should I be paying? Apartments of this size and in this location go for $2800 a month. If we were renting from a landlord I'd be happy to do the ratio thing, but it's his mortgage and his asset and we have no marriage plans.

What's fair ? Anything else to consider? I'm 23 if that is relevant.

Given your incomes I’d just say spilt the bills 50/50

Maybe something like half the bills and all the food.
