Opinions wanted on girl friend moving in..

So my girl friend and I have been together almost 2 years. I've owned my condo just over 2 years, and have never had a room mate. My girl friend, a full time student and part time worker wants to move in. In the past i've been kind of hesitant on letting her move in, but i've slowly opened up to the idea since shes here 5 days a week anyways.

Now here is where the opinions come in. This is "my" condo and I want to keep it that way. We've loosely discussed a price she would pay as "rent", but what im worried about is the common law rule. Now I have no intentions of us breaking up, but its always a possibility. Basically I dont want her to get half my shit, if things do go south. I've discussed this with her, and she insists if we did indeed split she would never try to take anything.

Does anyone on here have personal experience with this? If so could you share info, on how I can cover my ass "if" it came to that.

Thanks
