How to share apartment cost ....

[ferrier]

Two bed apartment. Shared bathroom, kitchen and lounge area. Couple sharing one room. Single in the other. Couple want to share the cost 50:50, ie they pay £50 and the single pays £50. Single thinks it should be more like £40 for the single and £60 for the double.
YANBU - the single has it right.
YABU - the couple have it right. Pay per bedroom.

I'm paying £3 less. They are paying £10 less.
My hotel room was £7 less than theirs.
On the face of it it's a good deal because we get a kitchen. But I lose a bathroom to myself ... etc.

So from all this the difference is a couple of quid?

I assume that's per night. Soon a week, the OP is saving £21 for sharing a bathroom and living space with a couple and they're saving £70.

The benefit seems to be very much weighted in their direction

Everyone should pay one third, surely? Each is consuming a third of the gas, electric etc.

3 way bill split , as another poster has said , but 60:40 on the rent .

60:40 sounds fair, personally I'd rather have the single room and my own bathroom.

3 adults so they each pay a third. Unfair for the couple to expect the single person to subsidise,
