[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You keep paying, because if the relationship turns abusive you want her to have a safe place to go. Tell her to get a part time job and that starting spring semester she needs to take over paying for utilities and parking. [/quote]

This.
I would bring it to her attention. Don't just pretend everything is just fine. She's an adult.

Also, OP I think $1050 it's a lot. You should have her look for something more affordable instead. 
She should move into a 4BR/$BA apt. with 3 other girls. Rent should be between $600-$750 for something like that, including parking.

Prices vary based on where your kid is in college.  Neither of my kids could pay only $600/month and be in a safe area and adequate apartment.  And parking would be $100+ more per month.  $900-1000 is normal for where both my kids are.  One paid $850 and it was a house that was 140years old and the utility bills in the winter were $600-700/month (spread 3 ways), and it's a 3 bed 1 bath (and my kid's room was as wide as a Twin bed (not a Twin XL, that wouldn't have fit ). parking was $150/month more.
