50/50. doesn't matter who gets the master bedroom. rotate rooms if you like, but keep everything 50/50 financially. if they get the master bedroom, then you get the best parking spot. work out something like that, but keep money 50/50. |

first of all, i recommend not doing it. isn't the best part of being newlyweds having privacy and finding out how it is to live together?
otherwise, when i was in college i lived in a house with 3 other girls. two of them had to share a room and they had to pay $200 a year less than the other two of us. that was the landlord's idea though - it was right in the lease.
make sure you get anything you wind up doing all agreed upon and in writing before anything cause once all hell breaks loose you're going to need it! |

Listen to my experience on sharing with other people. They say they will pay what you agree on, but after awhile, they sluff off and start coming up with reason's why they can't pay a bill that they said they would. And if they are friends, it is not adviseable to move in with them, that is if you want to stay friends.
Someone will use the water , air, heat, and the commode's lid will be left up, the toothpaste top will never be put back on the tooth paste. they barrow clothes, jewelery.perfume, hairspray, and etc. It is your choice I realize, but I have tried doing this and it worked for a month and then I started missing the food I fixed too take to work, the john lid was alway's left up. the toothpaste was always dried out not to mention they came up short on their side of the bill's. I learned this the hard way, and the more friends you let come thru your place, the more stuff that comes up missing. Now, if you don't be;ieve this, go ahead a try it. Hope it work's for you. I myself, would find another way.
Good luck! |

Not necessarily. It just depends on what kind of place you get and where. But split everything 50/50. The person with the master bedroom can pay 100% of one of the utilities (like electricity, cable or gas) to make up for the bigger room. |

Considering you are newlyweds, I would say try NOT to do it. It may not lead to good things. You will all get on each others nerves very quickly then one couple or the other will get stuck paying more rent and bills than they originally wanted.
No, more people does not always equal more rent. You will only pay more rent for more square footage. It does mean, however, more of a deposit. A single person may have a deposit of $50-$200. A couple, or more people, might have up to a $500 deposit. It all depends on the area and how 'high class' the complex tries to pass itself off as.
As for dividing rent and bills, that can be hard. Personally from my experience and from hearing other peoples stories, the best thing to do is split everything evenly between everyone. Even if someone (or couple) happens to get a bigger room. It really does make it easier on everyone involved. That way, no one can come out with claims like "I pay more, so what I say goes" kind of stuff. When I say 'divide between everyone' I literally mean each individual person pays their bit. Not each couple as two people. This includes rent, house phone, internet, television, water, gas, electricity, and anything else you all would have access to and share. Things that each person would pay individually though are things like cell phone, car insurance, gas, and other things that will not be shared regularly.
As for groceries, I would go for a shared monthly budget and usual list. It can basic things like bread, butter, milk, eggs, and so on. Extra things like candy, chips, soda, alcohol, and such can be a person's personal expense if they really want it. Maybe you can all agree on putting in a total of $400 ($100 each) per month to use for groceries. As well as take turns buying and cooking.
All in all, if you all do move in together, try to split everything as evenly as possible. It will be hard. There will be complaints, but it can be done. Just try to lay down ground rules, even concerning money for rent and bills, BEFORE even looking for an apartment together. That way, everyone will know what to expect when they move in. |

it will be very hard.4 people is the max for most 2 bedroom apts. so u can do it but living with your significant other will be hard enough trust me.ive been living with my gf for over a year and its great but we would hate to live with others.being alone is much better.plus u guys get to be naked all the time which is fun! |

don't do it. the first year of marraige is tough enough. putting 2 couples together would lead to bad things. |

some units in college towns are set up for 2 households,.. meaning there would not be a master they would be = good luck finding one of those.
Depends on the landlord and lease agreement if you will have to pay more for 4, but you shouldn't.
depending on how much the rent is, and how many sq. feet the unit is, you could divide the rent into square feet, divide the common areas, and each pay half, and then each couple pay for the bedroom and bathroom square footage that they occupy,.. hope your good at math,.......lol |
