Is it permissible for my roommate to charge me 60% of our monthly rent.

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In order for us to issue a ruling kindly elaborate on the following;

1) Who is the official tenant?

2) Does the tenant have a right to include anyone in his room?

3) Do you have any recourse to the landlord?

4) Did you approach your roommate on the issue?

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
