<prompt> Human: Heres my current living situation with a bit more detail:The people: Married couple. Two kids. Two adult males.The houserooms: The home is a two-level townhouse with a finished basement. The top floor contains three rooms. Two are occupied by either child. The third is occupied by the married couple. The full bathroom with the only shower is also on the top floor.The main floor contains the living room, the kitchen, and the half bath. All common areas are such for everyone that lives in the house. Finally, the basement area contains a generous living area that is occupied by two adult males. It also contains a laundry room that everyone in the home uses, with a door that separates the two areas.The rent: The rent per month is 1580. The proposed split from the married couple is 30 from both basement dwellers individually and 40 from the couple as a whole. While trying to stay as objective as possible, I should clarify that I am one of the basement dwellers and cant determine how, if at all their proposal makes any sense. Im really looking for opinions on how the cost of rent should be split based on the details above. The married couple tend to get very set in their ways and id like to come to the table with a hard-to-argue-with proposal of my own.Any thoughts I can get from you guys would be awesome. Please let me know if you need any more detail on the situation. Thanks!EDIT: Im at work right now but ive been reading the comments as they come in, and I really appreciate the outside perspective. Ive sent notification to all parties that we will be meeting to discuss this mess within the next day or so. Your comments have allowed me to see just how borderline-egregious their proposal is. Unfortunately, this arrangement is the best I could do under my current circumstances, and with the housing market being tight in my area. That being said, I will be coming to the table with a 602020 proposal as has been suggested a few times by you guys, and I dont think Im willing to move too far from those numbers. If they dont like it, then I will absolutely do what I have to do to move elsewhere.  <response>: Do you need to live with these people? Because it doesnt feel like they are being fair about the rent split, and I doubt this is the only thing they are going to be unreasonable about. I can only imagine the issues that are going to come up with regards to six people sharing one shower and one laundry room.My feeling would be that 602020 would be a more fair split based on number of rooms, the family having sunlit rooms and the men living in a basement, and the family would have better bathroom access.But this sounds like a pretty uncomfortable living situation. Only go through with it if youre on a month-to-month lease because you need an out if it doesnt work out.
