    Bf and i are looking to rent a house w/ another friend of ours possibly two depending if we get a 2 or 3 bedroom...

    anyways, obv Bf and i are staying in same room, so how would the rent be split up? If it is just us and one other friend in a 2 bedroom, should it be split 3 ways or should it be split per room?

    so say its 1200 a month, should my Bf and I be paying 800 or 600/month?

    You guys pay $800 a month IMO, you will both be using common areas, etc. I know if my roomie decided to have his gf move in and he only paid half of the rent i'd be pretty pissed having to deal w/that extra person without getting any money off my rent.

    that depends on the size of the room as well. and your friend's opinion matters too.

    and assuming that the bills will be split 3 ways, why would the rooms be any different?

    If you have your own bathroom to use with your partner, then only utilities split three ways. If a bathroom is shared, then everything split three ways.

    split 3 ways. easy. end of discussion. if there's any perks like a bigger room, or parking space, or room with own bathroom, the b/f and g/f should get that room (pay 2/3 rent).

    Other than that, everyone pays the same. that's what me and my buddy are doing with my g/f.

    That way, when an argument about something goes down, which it inevitably will with any accomodations, everyone has a fair say in the argument.

    the true way to do this is take the square footage of the house and divide it into private and common spaces.


    let's say in the pic above that the room with "first floor" are all the common areas (incl. living room, kitchen, etc.), "1 car attached" is the smaller bedroom, and "addition" is the larger bedroom. total sq ft of the pic above is 1600.

    everyone should pay 1/3 of the shared areas (1060 sq ft), and if you and your gf/bf took the larger bedroom, you each pay 1/2 of 300 sq ft while the roommate pays 100% of 240 sq ft.

    so you have 353 + 150 = 503 sq ft
    your gf/bf has 353 +150 = 503
    and random has 353 + 240 = 593 sq ft.

    if the cost of rent is 1200, and you & gf/bf take up 31.5% of the house each (503/1600) and your roommate takes up 37% (593/1600), then you and your bf/gf should pay $378 a piece ($756 total) and your roommate pays $444. that's basically the true costs. you can negotiate or figure it out from there.

    The two sharing a room should pay 700. That way you each pay $350 or however you wanna split it. The person with their own room pays 500. You guys pay less individually but more in total because you will share the common areas. All other bills, utility, gas, cable etc should be split 3 ways. I've done this before and it worked otu great for everyone.

    I dont see why it should be done that way. If there happened to be a third room, the OP and GF wouldn't have their own rooms anyway, they would still share one because thats what they choose. Everybody gets a room and everyone gets to use all the rest of the space as they please. Should be 400 a person.

    I agree. I've dealt with this and it's bullshit. The roommates GF usually starts taking liberties after a few weeks (hogging bathroom, eating food w/o chipping in, parking, etc...) unless you set rules from the jump.
