I think it's so rare to have an almost free place to live - *what* a luxury. Especially given the fact that you are breaking out on your own. I completely feel for you in terms of the memories the place has for you. But, if it were me - I'd stay there, I'd take a couple months worth of rent - and re-paint, buy some fresh stuff - re-do the bedroom. Somehow, make it *just* your own. And, save all that rent money down the road.
