Flatshare rent by room
A large bedroom and a small one are not worth the same rent. Enter the size of each bedroom and the part of the rent that goes to the shared rooms: the calculation follows the size alone, the shared rooms, or extra criteria.

How it is worked out
There are three usual ways to work it out. By size alone, the rent follows the size of the bedrooms: put 0 % for the shared rooms. With the shared rooms, a part of the rent (kitchen, living room, bathroom) is split equally, since everyone uses them as much, and the rest follows the size of each bedroom. With extra criteria, a private shower room, a balcony or a brighter bedroom are added in square metres to the bedroom that has them.
For example: a rent of 1,500 € and three bedrooms of 12, 12 and 9 m². By size alone, they pay 545.46 €, 545.45 € and 409.09 €. With 40 % for the shared rooms, 527.27 €, 527.27 € and 445.46 €. If the first bedroom has its own shower room, counted as 4 m² more, 589.19 €, 491.89 € and 418.92 €.

Questions
Which method to choose?
Size alone suits a home whose shared rooms are small. As soon as the living room and kitchen count, the shared-rooms method is the most used. Extra criteria help when a bedroom has a real advantage, such as a shower room or a balcony.
What part for the shared rooms?
Often between 30 and 50 %. The larger and more used the living room and kitchen, the larger the shared part.
And a bedroom with its own bathroom?
Add its size to the bedroom's: it will pay a little more, which is the point.
Do the bills follow the same rule?
Not necessarily. In fleen, the rent can follow the sizes and the electricity be split equally.
