<prompt> Human: Hello all,Im going to be deploying soon America so my wife is thinking about moving in with her friend whose husband is actually deploying with me as well. We are considering this not only as a way to save money but also to not leave the wives alone.We us and our friends are about to sit down and talk about the numbers together but I wanted to get your guys take on what would be the most fair way of coming up with a rent price. Additional Facts:We are currently renting. Our friends own their house paying mortgage. We will have to move our things into storage. We have 2 dogs... they have 2 dogs. Its a 9-month deployment. We are moving out of the state shortly after returning from deployment.Maybe you guys have more details then you needcare to have. But hopefully, Ill get some good input back from this! Thanks guys!  <response>: Do a couple test runs with the dogs to make sure they get along. And however you decide to split the money I agree that the owners should pay a larger share since they get the benefit of equity and the non-owner will essentially be a guest for months, lean towards spelling everything out in more detail than you think necessary. Not just money but chores, purchase of household supplies, groceries, etc. The more you iron out ahead of time, the less there will be to dispute later. Thats the sort of stuff that puts rifts between roommates.
