<prompt> Human: I am a single female renting a room in a townhouse in New Jersey living with three other people: a female grad student in her own room, and a couple that shares the master bedroom with attached bathroom. I pay 650 a month, which is what I agreed to pay when I moved in about 5 months ago. It is a verbal agreement and I do not have a lease, the sole person on the actual lease is the female in the couple, who I write my rent checks to every month. I recently learned through looking online and confirming with the other single female who has seen the lease before that it costs a total of 2,000 per month total to rent it. I pay 650, the other single girl pays 550, meaning that the couple who shares the master bedroom with private bathroom and walk in closet are paying 400 a month each. My room is smaller and I share a bathroom with the other girl. While I knew how much I would be paying in rent when I moved in, I cant help but feel taken advantage of finding out this information. It seems like a very unfair way to split up the rent, and I feel somewhat resentful that I have felt like I was living in THEIR place. So my question is, do I have the right to feel taken advantage of? Is this something I should discuss with them? I realize that they didnt do anything illegal or technically wrong, but I feel like I am being quite ripped off. Tl;dr: found out rent is being split very unequallyunfairly between the people I live with, should I confront them or anything?  <response>: People are allowed to make money off renters. If these people arent your best friends or something, its completely standard. If you want to bring it up then be prepared to move out and MAYBE you will have some leverage.
