chocolatesyrup101 | How much should my roommate pay? |
I have a friend that is moving in with me and I have no clue what to set the rent as for her to pay me.
As this is her decision and is completly ok with every situation.
I live in a two bedroom house with me and my daughter. So when she moves in, she will either be sleeping on my couch or sharing my bed with me.
Considering that she will not have her own room is something I've come to be a problem with what I should charge her.
I can't let her stay for free considering certain bills will raise, but like I said the situation with not having a bedroom is ok with her.
Now my daughter is only 6 years old so that in consideration, should everything be split 1/3 to her or what..
Please help, I have no clue.. |

With the situation you described, I think 1/3 of the rent, utils, etc. would be acceptable. This person will be raising your bills & inconveniencing you, on one hand - but on the other, they will not have their own room, and your daughter also raises the cost of living in the apartment. 1/3 straight down the line sounds acceptable to me. In the end, though, it's your decision. I do hope for your sake that the move is temporary. |

The road to H_ _ _ is paved with good intentions and since you are friends you should simply sit down with her and ask her how she feels about helping you and your daughter with the expenses of the unit and of the food and what kind of accomodations she is expecting or can suggest to you. Nothing better than getting it out in the open. No DRAMA Moma. Ask her if she is willing to sign a roomate's agreement.
All that being said, make sure you have the right to allow someone else to live in your unit according to your lease agreement so that all three of you don't end up asking yahoo answerers for homeless shelter links.

Say there are 2 bedrooms, a kitchen, a living room, and a bathroom. All three of you use the bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Your daughter's room goes just to her, and whatever room you split with your friend gets split evenly that way. Then you pay for you and your daughter. That way, you're each responsible for a fair share of each room you use. It's a little bit of funky math, but it's fair. In this situation its about a 70/30 split. You can modify the cost of each room based on the different sizes of the rooms if you want, or if there are more or less rooms. |

Well if she doesnt have her own room and will either use the couch or ur bed, then I would take the avg utility bills, and make 1/3 hers, then since you and ur daughter live there and she will be sharing half of your space, I would charge her half of your half... (1/4) so 1/4 of ur rent, plus 1/3 of the utilities. |

If you rent the house than I would have her pay 1/2 of the rent payment and you will pay the utilities (and consider who is paying for most of the food) ...... that way she is paying a large amount but not exactly 1/2, so that you won't feel guilty. If you own the house than figure out what it would cost to rent a studio apartment in your area and charge her half of that amount. I know that she is your friend; however do not feel guilty that she would be sleeping on the couch........ consider it about the same as if she wasn't, and don't consider your child when trying to figure out her rent, because your child can't pay rent and she shouldn't be considered as a renter. Good Luck! Hope this helps. |

I would have your friend pay about 1/4 of the total rent. |

She should still split half, and be lucky she has a friend to let her stay there. Friends are not always your friends when your down and out. I had to learn that the hard way. So she should be grateful; even if she doesn't have her own room. |

I think splitting everything in thirds is very reasonable. Have you asked your room mate as to what her finances are like? Maybe she has a set rate in her head. I think it would be a good idea to discuss the amount with your room mate first so that way you're starting off on a good footing and it can be a price that you're both comfortable with. |

as much as possable |

I think that 1/3 sounds fair. However, I would make certain that I keep tabs on long distance and pay-per-view movies. She should be responsible for those things in addition to her split. It is difficult indeed to gage how much one should charge a roommate whnenthey will not have "room" to themselves. You could offer her your daughter's bedroom and split the costs 50-50. And by the way, you should establish a means of terminating your agreement if things shouldn't work out. Good luck! |

I would say 40% of the total costs of the rent, plus any extra charges on the utilities. |

First off your daughter doesnt work so she should not be considered when calculating rent. You could have your roommate pay half the utility bills and since she doesnt have a bedroom probably 40 percent of your rent. Maybe a little less. Buy your own food. |

I would still charge her half. It going to be awkward for both of you to share a bed and so on. She will take showers in your tub. This would at least alleviate some of your hassle for putting up with that mess. |

mightymouse has the right idea, but it really depends on the roomie's reasons for moving in. Does she need time to save money(coming out of a bad situation) or is she just spreading her wings? bad situations are delicate, charge 1/3, plus food and extras. Is she spreading her wings? 1/2... |

She should pay for her own food, and 1/3rd the rental cost and utilities. |

alittle less than half |

just me

I would share my room with my daughter, and charge not quite1/2 the rent and utilites to her. Pay for your own food. |

I would let her know she's responsible for her own food & supplies, etc. and only charge her 1/4 of your expenses. Hopefully this won't be a permanent situation for you. You're a true friend. Good Luck! |
