yes divide the rent by square footage. do u know the square footage of the whole house and seperate rooms. divide monthly rent by square footage and it will tell u the dollar amount per square footage now times that number by the square footage in each room everyone is occupying and u will find out how much each person owes. |

Sounds like a 1/2, 1/4, 1/4 split for the rent. |

Probably the best way you be take the total square feet of how much each person is occupying (room plus bath and patio)... add those together... then calculate what % each one is and that is the % each person should pay. ie if you are getting 50% of the apartment, you should pay 50% of the rent. I think that would be best way. |

Why not have an auction between the 3,,, who is willing to pay the most for the master, then split the difference between the other 2. |

The simple way would be to switch rooms every 4 months...if everyone wanted to pay the same amount.
But there's a way to do it if someone's willing to pay a premium. You could determine rent by square footage. Take size of common areas and divide by 3. Take the shared bathroom and divide by 2. Take the master and it's bathroom.
The person with the master would pay for 1/3 common areas + all of the master & master bath. Then one person would pay 1/3 common + 1/2 shared bath + all of one room. And the 3rd person would pay 1/3 common + 1/2 bath + all of the remaining room.
Of course, some would say that the shared bath makes the other bath even more special. So maybe you decide to push the shared bath onto the "common" square footage area. |

I would say 50-25-25 with the occupant of the big bedroom with private bath paying the biggest share. If the roomies won't agree to this, arrange to shift rooms so everyone gets the big room for a third of the year (each roomie would only have to move twice that year).
Otherwise, find a different place to live, because those people don't understand "equitable." |

I would say that the person who had a large room with its own bathroom should pay half the rent and the other 2 should pay a quarter of the rent....the utilities should still be split 3 ways..... |

I would say 1/2 of the total rent for the master suite, and then the other two would split the remainder 50/50 (unless one of the other two bedrooms was larger than the other). |

best way would have been to flip a coin to see who get the master suite. It should be split 3 ways and each of you should have your turn at the master suite. |

Who ever gets the master bedroom should pay a higher rate when rent is split. That is like paying the difference between a hotel room and a suite. |

Every 4 months alternate who gets the master bedroom, that way everyone gets a turn and everyone shares the same amount of money for rent |

The fair way would be to determine the following. Roommate A SF = Square footage of master suite + 1/3 of sf of shared space. Roommate B and C = SF of each personal room + 1/2 of sf of shared bath + 1/3 of sf of shared space. Then you figure out the percentage of sf of the total sf each roomate has and split the total rent that way.
The simpler way is that Roommate A pays one half and the other roommates pay one fourth. Or maybe Roomate A pays 3/5 of the rent and the others pay 2/5 each. |

I was sin that situation what we did was the person that got the master had to pay more or if you r moving into there place then they get that room but of course i feel the person with more space and there own bathroom should half to pay more its like if you have a room ate who has who is married, there r 2 of them and one of you so the person with more people should pay more , that is my opinion |

Who found the place and did all the work to get you 3 in the apt? Thats who should get the larger room. Seems to work. Otherwise, have the person with the larger room pick up the cable bill or electric bill each month to make up for it. |

Divide the rent into 4, let the roommate with the larger room pay half of the extra 4th and the other two pay one quarter, or split it into 5ths and let the roommate with the larger room pay an extra 5th and the other two roommates split the other depending on how much nicer the largest room is. |

The person w themaster room pays 40% and the other 2 pay 30%. |

The person who wants the master suite could pay more, or you could rotate the room between roommates. |

When I was in this situation we still split the rent 3 ways. Mainly in our case b/c the one who had the master had paid the deposit originally. I think realitically you can make it like there are 4 people, or figure out how much more room they have and make each person pay according to how much sq ft they are using. Who ever is willing to pay more gets the biggest room. The big decision also is who needs the most privacy? Are we talking 2 guys and 1 girl, or are we all the same sex? |
