How it works

The shared-space share of the rent is split equally. The rest is split by each bedroom's share of total bedroom square footage.

Got a private bathroom or a parking spot? Bump that room's square footage up a bit to account for it.

Tips

  • Agree on the method before you sign the lease, not after.
  • Got a private bathroom? Add its square footage to that bedroom.
