you need to be careful and make sure she is going to stay, what if you sign a lease and she splits in two months, make her sign the lease also.
As for the rent split it two ways, if you have the larger or better bedroom you can pay a little more if you feel thats fair. also if there are any utilities to be paid, you could divide those by three to be fair. (a couple uses mare water that an individual). that is the most fair way. After all you are moving to accomodate her anyway.

I'd tell her to go get her own apartment. That's a big jump in rent. She should go try and find some girls that are needing some room mates. |

That's a personal decision you will have to make. If it were me, I would say that since you are making this move for her sake, and she will occupy 1 entire bedroom in a 2 bedroom apartment, it would only be fair that she pay half of the base rent.
All utilities, on the other hand, you could split 3 ways.
That should still save her more money than if she got her own apartment, while minimizing the financial burden on you and your boyfriend. |

We lived in a crash pad a place where pilots and flight attendants live when they aren't flying.
Basically Each Room Rate was divided Equally so 2 Rooms the amount was in half. 1145 is now 573 and 572 But if one room is occupied with a shared partner or additional person it was hard on bathroom time TV time ect so 1/2 of the 573 would be 285 approx so we divided that amount in half again to arive on the 143 added to the double room taken away from the single room. So as a double room it would be 716 and 430 But we would divide all the electricy water gas basic phone TV by 3 so each person would be responsible for their share. Who ever was the one figuring recieved 15 off of his/her bill from each of the occupants, so Change the final number to 700 to 445. It was the Fairest way to do things we did this for years No arguements or problems.
If one room has a private bath even if it is going to be occupied by two people it was always an additional $30 for the large room with private bath. |

2 bedroom you 2 take up one and her the other would go 50/50. If she gets a boyfriend to share her room thats her business. |

thats the thing you can halve it, as per bedroom which i think is totally fair especially if you have to move so she can live with you, and split utilities three ways, or each pay a third of the rent, maybe check out what rent she would be paying else where and go off that, if half the rent is a acceptable price she should pay half. |

Split it two ways that way later when she finds a guy and he moves in there won't be a rent issue. It will be less stress for you and your boyfriend, as well as less strain on your relation ship. If she doesn't like the arrangements then she can just go find her own place or stay on campus. |

I could fight this both ways. You should divide it by two because you are your boyfriend are trying to live together and are sharing an apartment now. However, everything needs to be equal when considering roommates. So how about you divide it into three, but any extra costs she will pay (ie. internet, phone, cable- as long as it is REASONABLE!) and you and your boyfriend will just pay rent. |

Consider what it would cost her for a 1 bedroom apt of her own. If sharing your place means less money, I see nothing wrong with her paying half. Who is paying for the utilities and other expenses? |

I would divide the rent EQUALLY between every person living in that apartment, i don't care HOW many share a room. First of all, they're living in the ENTIRE apartment (or are you not allowing them into other rooms, like the kitchen and the bathroom?).
Second of all, the landlord does not care HOW you split the rent -- HE wants it all at once.
Divide the rent equally. |

i would tell her she has to pay half because she has her own room and you guys are sharing if she wants to split that in half i suggest she finds a man |

I've lived with couples before, and we always divided the rent by the number of people living in the apartment, since that's the fairest to the individuals.
If it's going to end up being more expensive for you, have your boyfriend point that out to his parents. They can talk to his brother or sister and let them know that maybe this living arrangement isn't the best for all involved. |

In any other case who says that it should be payd in 2 ways is just wrong!
Imagine this way, you are three people preteding to live in a flat with 2 rooms, so that means without the matter who is going to live together with or not, everyone is going to use the flat (bath, kitchen, own room) equaly. So the price should be divided by three. |
