The rental income covers 60% of my mortgage + bills + extra charges

I own the apartment, I pay a mortgage on it. You're right though, that doesn't mean I couldn't downsize. However the difference in price between 1 bedroom and 2 bedroom is quite insignificant. 1 bedrooms here are a bit of a scam.

Noted. Although it's likely that this would be another country. Anywhere worth living here is very highly priced.

Ah man this sounds like an absolute nightmare. It's the exact kind of situation that I don't need in my life. 100% agree, I don't let girlfriends live with me, I think that's even more headache than a stranger female tenant. Interesting options you've highlighted here - will have a think...
