Third of rent

(1/3) > >>

Hey everyone,
this discussion is just in regard to Faye says she's happy because she only has to pay a third of the rent. In personal experience, I find it unfair that couples are expected to pay extra rent for the same space. This is assuming a few things;

* your rent is seperate to your other bills including water and electricity
*
you do not have "extras" in your room such as a walk in wardrobe or ensuite bathroom. [/li][/list]

If essentially Faye and Martin had the same size bedroom, and their rent is them just splitting the difference and getting a bedroom each then it seems unfair the Dora is expected to pay a third of the rent for essentially, less space. Martin is sharing his space, not giving Dora her own bedroom. 

However, maybe it's compensation money for Dora sounding like a sex pony  :-D

But anyway, what are your thoughts?

Shadic:
When a few friends, my girlfriend and were all looking at moving in together, we had the same issue. There were two couples out of six people. The end decision is that those who got their own rooms would pay a little bit more. However, we ended up not doing that anyways, so now I'm just living in a one bedroom with the girlfriend. Definitely cheaper than anything else we would have ended up in.

Random832:
Also consider the fact that Marten and Dora both have jobs.

merv:
The fact Dora and Martin both have jobs isn't an issue, that would be like me moving in with someone and saying "Well as you earn twice as much as me you should pay twice the rent" that's just ridiculous!

Not only is it not the issue, Faye also has a job, so I don't really see what anyone's employment status has to do with anything? If I had a roommate and they lost their job, I'd still expect them to pony up their share of the rent.
