Friend living in other room of 2 room apart. has his wife move in, should she pay part rent or just utilities?

You need a new contract.... If your friend has broken the one you have. Maybe they should move out... or... they can pay more rent and split the utilities 3 ways.

I say:) why don't you bring in a good friend or even your girlfriend too;) Gee that seems fair your to sweet to say no and don't want to be the bad guy but its it fair why like the other ditto post for me said it all. He is married and to me he should get her and him their own place and you can get renters in there who are being fair to you. I sure wish when I was younger I had the way to say No but you have to learn by experience and without ruining a friendship. To me its gone beyond boundarys and thats not fair to you. Let him take over and you pay a 3rd like all are saying or see how they like you making it more of a savings get another renter your good friend and then see how they like it. Im not being mean and feel so bad that she can't see that your a really good friends and one day he will who knows might not be with her right now this is for him the perfect set up he gets you two others as we all do to clean. saves on cleaning and then sit down and talk this all out and pls don't let any one try to con ya or play on words like, "Oh were so broke and what a great friend you are he may very well be but to me sorry the male has the best out of all three and ok Im off the soap just don't like it when I see and try not to say a word and since your very kindhearted, make it fair for you is this setup making you happy if you didn't know these others:) Mail me and let me know, I was stuck one time in the same type of situation and in time I ended up the landscaper;) the housekeeper and oh it when on and on and had to lol even helped one of the males had several females over and here me and my other male roomate were fixing the other roomie room up so he could bring in a girl a nite and because I really did like them and we all got along great or was it in my mind and now that I sit back when it ended was when I got my one roomie broken up from a love affair that broke his heart did I create a monster got his self esteem back by valadation took and made him get out and see there are more fish in the sea I ended up at 2:00 a calling him on his phone asking him to pls put a pillow over his new love of his life mouth pls don't hurt her but I let it get out of hand and before I knew it I was so unhappy paid my rent and the I guess perfect roomie for them but learned a hard lesson. Before you even move all in together sit down and talk over who is paying what and make sure that like all said."Its a 3 way payday and a 3 way in a sense marriage too ;) thats fair and thanks for reminding me why I might not live in the richy rich area but at least I can live alone and in a safe place.
Let me know how things all turned out by having a sit down and let it all come out what everyone feels is fair. If your not really included in this then its really you and 1 1/2 paying.. Take care and hugs to you. Be strong and stand your ground..Pay your share of a 3rd..:)
My thoughts will be with you if you decide to have a nice talk about this arrangement..
I sure wish I had you with me with I live 3 a crowds set up:) old Jack Tripper if you don't know sorry its about 3 people living together and no one was married in that one..:)

kick them out. they are married and should find their own place to crash. get another roommate. all married people do all day is fight. you will get caught in the middle and accused of things you never did!!!

the rent and the utilities should be split 3 ways.

If she has her own room or starts taking over parts of the apartment as hers (the living room, etc) without her hubbies presence she should pay rent and utilities. If she only hangs out in the apartment with hubby, then she should be allowed to pay only utilities. And if she puts out for you, she can live there for free j/k.

she should cover her portion of utilties and rent split the entire thing three ways...and if he wants to pay her portion then good. but its just like going to a hotel sometimes they charge more for more adults

Split everything 3 ways -- rent, utilities, etc. They pay 2/3, and you pay 1/3. It's only fair!

If there are three people living in one apartment, the rent should split three ways. Unless, of course, he discussed it with you beforehand, and you agreed that she should live there rent-free.

well to my opinion she should pay half of everything.... unless they are together as man and wife then the man is suppose to make a living for him and her.....but that still means she should do her part somewhere.. it is really hard to understand what you mean... why would a man let his wife move in and him living with someone else...so i am just making assumptions here....

3 people, three ways. Rent and utilities. Other wise you are helping to support his wife. Do you want to do that? I wouldn't.

Both. It should be split three ways.

whatever she can afford

if she works (and makes pay comparable to husband) she should pay rent. if she makes significantly less than her husband, just utilities. if she doesn't work, don't make her pay.

At first I was going to say split 3 ways but then again, she's not getting her own accomodations. She is sharing the same room he is already paying rent for. Although, she does still have access to the remainder of the apartment as well. I think she should definately pay 1/3 of the utilities and something towards rent but maybe not a completely even share. Maybe the couple should foot 60% of the rent and 2/3 of the utilities ?? My best compromise anyway. Maybe they should find their own place and you should get a new roommate ?? Must feel kind of wierd living as a single man in an apartment with a married couple.

i would say split everything 3 ways

they are now one as they say on that beloved day. so if this is so you can ask them to pay 75% of everything and you are responsible for just 25% they will take up 3/4 the space ans be there 3/4 the time so this is fair.her moving in is only bad for you and you need some incentive.

to keep the friendship - charge rent and utilities... if they don't like it, they can move...

Two ways.
Split it three ways.
Or she pays the extra utilites.
It is up to you guys. AFter all they share a room.
