neurotic one | Should my roommate's boyfriend be charged for bills/ rent? |
I'm renting a 4 bedroom 1 bath house. I have 3 roommates(2 guys and 1 girl who recently moved in). The girl's boyfriend is here every night and showers, cooks and does his laundry here. Everyone likes him but it kinda seems unfair for us renters. Would it be out of line to ask him to pay his share of the bills? |
 |

I think one of you, whoever is closest to the girl, should talk to her about having him help out since he is over there all the time using your utilities and space.
I don't think it is out of line to ask, especially if he is there every night. |

Well, I'm assuming he does not have his own room, but shares the room with his girlfriend.
It's a little tough to ask him to share int he rent costs becuase of that, and the girl would probably object. ...but utilities would be affected by him being there.
There are 4 of you renters, but 5 with the boyfriend. I'd simply say that each person owes 20% of the monthly utiltiies obligations. So the girl and her boy would make up a 40% portion of the utilities.
If she doesn't agree, then she needs to explain why you guys should be paying for the water and electrcity that he uses..... but then remember if any of you get girlfriends/boyfriends you'll have to do the same thing when the time comes!! |

No, by all means ask the guy or ask your roommate to pitch in his share. If he has all the benefits as you do, he should be pitching in. And if he were an upstanding guy, he would offer to help out. |

I'd get with the other roommates and tell her that he needs to pay 1/5 of ALL costs if he spends more than one or two nights a week there. He's obviously living there so he should pay an equal share of all costs, rent, utilities, food, etc.
The lease probably requires that all occupants be listed on the lease and most leases define an occupant as anyone who spends more than two weeks in the premises. |

It would depend on how long he has been around... if he has been around more than a month... I think you should talk to her about her boyfriend and you could give her several options such as he moves out, he pays, she pays his way... it doesn't matter which pays but it is only fair that all adults are paying.. neither you guys or her should be taken for a free ride. Explain to her that if you brought a girlfriend into the picture she would have to pay her way or you'd pay it for her. It is another head in the house. He eats, showers, does laundry... you could also set him up on a daily basis incase he's not there as much. If he was any kind of man anyway he would be offering something so that it didn't appear that he was taking advantage of all of you. Just try not to sound like you are attacking him or her when you talk to them. |

hi , you all should have had an agreement when she first moved in anyone that sleeps over more than 3 nights in a row is more than just a house guess i think yes if he is acting like a renter then he should be one.

If he spends just as much time there as his girlfriend or any of the other "paying" roomies then he should be charged too but you have to remember that the female roomie might see this as an opportunity for her and her bf to shack up. Then again if you tell her boyfriend that he has to pay his share he might get freaked out by the fact that he might have to "move in" with his girlfriend and then he'd stop visiting. Its you and your roomies home, you should all speak up. |

I THINK SO OR START MAKING YOUR ROOMATE PAY FOR HIS HALF ITS ONLY FAIR |
|

no unless his girlfriend wants to pay extra. after all, he's showering, washing clothes and cooking. |

I sure would. Bring it up to the roommate and the mate with all of the other roommates present. |

It would not be unreasonable for him to pay for his share of the utilities since he is running up the water and electric. If he is staying over night more than 51 percent of the month then he should also pay a fair share of the rent. If there are five of you at the residents then 1/5 of the expenses should be paid by everyone. If the boyfriend should object, explain that while he is cooking, showering or doing his laundry that the four individuals paying the utilities and rent are inconvenienced by his actions, they must wait for him to finish, their for, he should pay his fair share for the privileges. |

I think he should or his girlfriend should fork some money over for him. Does he have his own place allready? Be gentle with the subject because some may be offended by asking to pay. |
|

not at all...you have to live on a budget, why should he live off you...make him pay just like the other roomies.....if u want to include water, electric/gas etc in room and board thats good also.... |
|
MrWiz

does he cook for everyone and cleanup after he's done? Food is usually more expensive than the electricity or water used by one person.
does he have a job or is he a leech?
Did the bills go up since hes been there?
What does the agreement with the new girl that moved in say? If you rented a room and 1/4 of the bills- it seems like you should not worry about it how many people are in that room but file away the information for future lease agreements. |

Your lease is for 4 people, and the costs are meant to be split 4 ways.
It is unfair for the other girl to have her boyfriend there all the time, using your utilities, without kicking in a higher share of those costs.
I'd suggest offering to have the bf added to the lease and getting all your costs knocked down some. If not, she should pay a higher share of the overall utilities. |

I think you should speak to both. The girl and guy. Make it clear to them that she is ONLY paying for her expenses. He is showering, cooking, and laundrying.. Which means, he is using water and gas. Its fair enough for the boyfriend or the girlfriend to give more money for the household bills...Nothing is free anymore.
Just talk to them in a nice way and tell them whats fair for all..
Best Wishes! : ) |
