Need advice on separating two bonded cats

Hey guys I'd really appreciate any input as I am a little biased.

So I moved into a new place almost a year ago and at the same time the landlord (who lived in the same house at the time) adopted two sister kittens. She was always out and about and it fell to me to take care of them, change their litter, feed them etc. I don't mind this at all as part of our arrangement is that I take care of things around the house in exchange for a lower rent. The landlord ended up adopting a dog that the cats do not get along with and then moved out. I was asked to bring the cats into my place because of the dog and construction going on in the house. I was happy to do so since I've been basically raising them for over a year.

I took them to get spayed (she had no idea they weren't spayed and had no time bring them ). I've also bought a new litter box, take care of them etc. However, I know that she wants to get rid of them eventually and has talked about it. I've grown very attached to them, and them to me. They essentially feel mine in every sense but officially. They are still under her name and she pays for their food while I take care of them and pay for their toys and litter.

The problem is, I would love to officially adopt both of them. However, I know I can't properly financially take care of both of them, with vet bills and everything. It also would be harder for me to find a new apartment in my city if i were to move out with two cats rather than with one. They're both around 10 months old. They play together, cuddle, groom each other. They seem pretty bonded. Would it really impact them to be separated at this age? Should I rehome both of them together?

Thank you!
