I was using the loan eligibility calculator and was wondering, as I live with someone where our tenancy agreement is in joint names, what should I put as rent? The full amount or just half?

The full amount as your are both jointly, and separately, responsible for the rent in full unless the contract says differently. Which means that if there are any problems the landlord can chase either one of you, or both, for the money.0

I'd put what you pay.0

I would put half as that is what your paying. Worst case scenarios should be kept out of it.0
