<prompt> Human: I dont know if Im posting in the right place and Im sorry if not. I have a situation though. A buddy of mine, his girlfriend and I agreed to rent an apartment. We all 3 will be on the lease. He is trying to get me to pay 5050 down the middle. Am I crazy and over reacting, or is that not fair whatsoever? I just need some opinions to kind of see where Im at in this situation. Its a 2br 1.5 bath. I told him since the living space is smaller, we have to share a br, and everything else she should have to pay something. Im sorry if my post does not make sense, but I really would love some feedback.This is what I thought was a potentially a good idea for how we could do it. Opinions?rent  <response>: As youve read from the other great comments, 6040 is a pretty fair split in general. You can split utilities into thirds, its not going to tip the scales that much depending on your cost of living. Note, if he is insistent about this, or is trying to justify it with peoples relative lifestyles or schedules, tread carefully. Youre entering a 2 v 1 living situation. I may be jumping to conclusions, but when you phrase it trying to get me to he seems intent on capitalizing on that fact. Youre literally outnumbered. Also make sure both of them are actually on the lease, their personal problems can easily become your financial ones. A breakup followed by the remaining roommate not wanting to double their rent is literally the first thing that comes to mind.
