<prompt> Human: Hello all hope this is the right place for thisSo me and my friend signed a lease a couple months ago planning to both move in with our girlfriends. His girlfriend lives across the country and he was going to fly out and drive back with her and live here. She had transferred her job, school, and army unit, things were pretty certain. Day of his flight comes and he just didnt go. My girlfriend gets back from being gone for the summer next week. Im trying to figure out whats fair in this situation. I dont feel like I agreed to pay for anymore than half of the total rent for this 2 bedroom apartment when we moved in but I also dont want to be a dick to my friend and tell him no without considering the different sides. So I need some outside opinions. We live in a 2 1 bedroom 1 bathroom apartment and one of the bedrooms is slightly bigger, Incase the detail helps at all. The original deal had basically been split the rent 4 ways between us and our girlfriendsThanks all  <response>: Id think splitting rent by rooms is fair you and girlfriend in one room pay half and him in one room pays half. However I would say split utilities 3 ways. 3 people use more water, electricity, gas etc however youre still sharing a room and he gets a room to himself.
