What exactly does Okabe do for a living? Is he a student? No mention of him ever going to class or anything of the sort.

How are they paying the rent for the place? It was mentioned that Daru was planning on getting a part-time job to pay for the rent increase... so how were they paying it before? What does Daru even do?

Does Mayuri even go to school? Do Mayuri and Okabe both live in that apartment/lab and Daru lives somewhere else?

the show and movie are both set over summer break... Daru and Okabe are classmates, Mayuri is presumably in high school.

None of them live n the lab... according to the visual novel, Mayuri and Okabe live in Ikebukuro and Daru presumably lives there or nearby. In the series, Mayuri continually goes home at night.

it's probably safe to assume that Mayuri's job and Okabe's parents pay for the lab

Then why did Kurisu say "Where is Mayuri going to go?" when Daru decided to stop paying for rent? I thought it was implying that she lived there.

I thought that was part of the point of Okabe "kidnapping" her and making her a hostage when they were young because her parents died and he didn't want her to live with relatives.

Mayuri's grandma died when she was young, not her parents.

I have no idea why Kurisu said that... it's probably just an error in the script because it's directly contradicted by the main thrust of Mayuri's arc in the series (remember all the times Okabe attempts to take her home when jumping world lines?)

WELL, if you really want to get all technical about it, her parents did die in the Gamma worldline (along with Okabe's) although in the Gamma line, Okabe is a Rounder and Mayuri is dying of cancer.

I don't think they mean for living, but rather for hanging out. The lab seems to be a pretty important place for them to hang out together or even alone for that matter (in the chance someone else might come around and/or just to have a comfortable place without needing to go home).
They probably would miss that, especially Mayuri, since she already felt kind of lonely and that would just get worse without hanging out with the others on a regular basis.

Okabe probably has a student loan I presume.

It's from the Drama CD Hyde of the Dark Dimension

Gamma worldline is irrelevant.
Mayuri's parents are still alive, she still goes and lives there but occasionally comes back to the lab and she works at Faris's maid cafe which is very close to it.

Haha I agree, there are no answers to these questions. These people just congregate in this upstairs flat for hours every day with no other priorities. No mention of rent until they almost move out in the movie.

How could chuunibyou Okabe get a job without being fired, impossible.

Faris is the only one rolling in money. Best character.
