If the utility bills are shared equally then you could split the rent equally too. Some of you out of the 4 could be using more of the utilities than others but if they are happy to do it that way that's fine. But when it comes to the rooms it could prevent further problems if everyone paid the same amount. 4 people divided into 1300 euros = 325 euros each. Everyone will be paying the same amount. If a single tenant moved out it would be easier to find a replacement with the rent being low. Good luck. Hope you all come to an amicable agreement. Edit: this guys financial problems are irrelavent! He HAS to pay rent too. If he and his girlfriend don't like it then we're sure you'd get someone or a couple to rent the room in their place. Equal share of everything. If this girl is a friend of yours then you need to tell her that friendships and money don't mix, and that you feel you are being used. If there's no rent coming in from this guy then KICK HIM OUT! There is nowhere else where he could live rent free so make sure they know that that is the rule in the house too. Perhaps you could draw up a list of rules and include in the list something along the lines of: "if no rent money is collected from any of the tenants at any given time they will then lose their room and lodging at the house will be terminated." |

It should be about the rooms, not the number of people who occupy them
(utilities would be a different case, as 2 people potentially use more water/ gas/ electric/ phone) |

I'd say raise the rent on the shared room slightly and lower it on all the others to compensate for having an extra body around the place. |

i would say to break out the square footage of the bedrooms vs the rest of the home. the larger room should pay a little more no matter if it is 1 or 2 people occupying that bedroom but then divide the square footage of the rest of the home by 4 so that everyone pays a relevant equal share of the common areas. |

i would take the rent and divide by the number of bedrooms.
For other expenses, I would take total and divide by the number of people. |

They should pay more, as it's not just the bedroom they are renting, they also take up space in the living room, bathroom, and kitchen. I would suggest a 100 euro premium split between the other three tenants. |

4 people is 4 people--regardless of how many bedrooms they take up |

they should only pay for the room but split the utilities 4 ways it makes no difference how many share a room thats between them you wouldnt get any more if they moved out and a single occupant moved in |

Well if they are sharing a 475 room then the room rent shouldnt increase at all. They should however pay their share of all utility bills. |

They agreed to a 4 way split when he moved in; this month she wants a 4 way split: sounds to me like you guys already figured this one out - split the rent equally 4 ways, as agreed. |

Regardless of whether or not they are a couple the rent should be split evenly among all occupants along with utilities. The only difference being that people purchase their own food. I think that's only fair, and yes, the guy is getting a free ride if he's only paying a "portion" of what everyone else is paying. If he doesn't like it then tell him to find another place to live, why should the rest of you have to pay for him to live there. Did she ask if he could live there or did she just move him in?? Which honestly I think is bloody unfair. They look at it as since he is sharing a room then why should he have to pay as much as someone who has their own room. However, if they moved into their own flat they'd have to split the rent 50/50. I'd say something, if he has a problem with it tell him to move out, which he won't because he has no other place to go, and if he does move out then thats one less person you have to "carry"
Make them each pay 325 euros and split all the utilities four ways also. |

you should either charge per person or per room. 475 should cover double room. 350 for single.Each person the should contrbute to utilities
If the people in the 350 rooms were paying 475 they may not see it that way.It sounds as if ye need a house meeting to thrash it out for once and for all. |

i would say to charge them the same as everyone else, otherwise they will be paying out less and that wouldn't be fair. |

Maybe they could pay a bit extra.However there sharing if both are working then yes they should pay more. |

its fair to charge 475 for the one room , irrelevant of number of occupants. |

i would say either split the rent equally 4 ways so 325euros each or to split the rent with the person whose room they share so 175 euros each. |

I would do it like this:
Living Space equals 50% of total rent
then I defined room 1 as 14%, room 2 and 3 as 18%
(divided on how much rent you ask for each room)
So each person pays 162.50 for living space, no matter what
Room 1 person then pays 182.00 extra (total 344.50)
Room 2 person then pays 234.00 extra (total 396.50)
Room 3 person A pays 117.00 extra (total 279.50)
Room 3 person B pays 117.00 extra (total 279.50)
Bills are equally shared.
