[QUOTE="roarzorz, post: 6264674, member: 577193"] The best way to split up stuff like this is by square footage. Biggest bedroom pays a little more than the smaller bedroom. When it comes to utilities though everyone uses their share so it gets split up evenly by the # of people. Many years ago I shared a 2br apt with 2 other guys. Rent was $425/mth. I had the largest br so I paid $175, smallest br paid $150, guy who slept on a futon in the living room paid $100. We split all utilities evenly 3 ways. Later on I shared a 3br apt with 2 other guys. Rent was $390/mth & we split it evenly at $130 even though the brs weren't all the same size with me having the smallest room. I didn't mind because it was a much better apt than the last with much better roommates. After a while one roommate moved out so we split the rent evenly at $195 each. We didn't have an issue until my girlfriend (now wife) moved in with me. My roommate wanted to split rent 3 ways even though she only moved into my br. I refused on the rent because we weren't using up any more space but agreed on the utilities since she would be using a third of those. [/QUOTE]
