Does she grant you sexual pleasure? Otherwise, kick her out.

Take naked pics and PM them to me, assuming she is hot.
 
If she isn't paying her rent completly, tell her so. Its not like there is any real way around that conversation. Unless this is a one time thing and she had a good excuse.

@Gamer_152:  I take umbrage, my suggestion of talking to her and finding out why she isn't paying. Then getting her to pay her share is perfectly reasonable. Not all internet ideas are bad.

I would say a sitcom esque line down the apartment and she's only allowed in the amount she pays for.

Strike a deal with the landlord and turn off the things she doesn't pay for, like hot showers or electric outlets.

Well, you could start posting images of her... but I don't imagine that's a great idea. It'd be funny though, and some people would love you forever for it. Whatever, but simply ask her about it. Maybe she had a legitimate excuse for it, and it was a 'one-off' thing. If not, try and not get pissed off, and tell her that she can't keep not paying the rent. You can't afford it on your own and all the rest, and then see if she will start paying her rent.

Drop random words like PAYMENT and MONEY and SLEEZBAG into random conversation. This will cause her subconscious to pay the rent for you.

Yeah that was my original post...she has trouble paying.  Well it's just something I have to talk to her about I suppose, like people said.   "
Well here's my realistic suggestion that could be helpful. Talk to her about this issue on rent - politely. Just tell her that it is part of the agreement that she pays her full rent, do not issue a ultamium or anything just yet. Wait until maybe a month before you do that; that should be sufficient enough for her to find a job if she's jobless. Again, everything should be talked about in a polite manner. Angry fists normally doesn't help maintaining a healthy relationship, they'll probably just leave in a short moment's notice (perhaps without even paying the rent before leaving). 
 
If she doesn't start paying her full rent, you have several options at your disposal. The first and most easiest one is to kick her out, but that's not really big on diplomacy and then you'll need to find another roommate. Second one is to start cutting whatever access she has in the house, such as water or electricity, a friendly warning earlier on about cutting this off would help. Thirdly, I suppose you can try to get her to pay her rent in sexual favours, but don't count on it if she has morals.

Serious suggestion:
 
The first few times you catch her when she's free, politely ask why she's having trouble.  Make it a point to say you can't keep covering for her, but don't threaten her the impending doom of kicking her out.
 
If she's extremely late or doesn't pay her share the next bill cycle comes around, just let her know she has 30 days to find a new place.  That usually snaps people into reality and if she still doesn't keep up after this, you really should consider finding a new roommate.
 
Good luck!

Kick her out.  Also make the situation known to the landlord and they may be able to help you out.  BUt also take preemptive action and start looking for a new roommate.
