My rent is $1000 a month. There is one single lady, a married couple and myself. Should I only charge rent per individual or consider them one tenant and collect rent divided by 3? The couple will have a master bedroom as well. Utilities are included in rent.

This is a question that I had the other day as my husband and I were talking about moving in with a couple of friends. It was decided that the single guys would pay $700 each per month and we would pay $1000 per month between the two of us, but live in the master bedroom.

You don;t say whether the master bedroom has its own bath, but that would make a difference in my book. Even if not, the master bedroom is usually the best one. They will use twice the water, most likely, and if you have laundry facilities they will wash & dry twice as much. How many cars do they have that will need garage or driveway space?
Especially if they have their own bath, I would charge per person. If not, even then I would ask for a little more that 1/3-- say $400 for them and $300 for the singles, or $450 for them and $325 for the singles.
I am not sure what level of togetherness there will be in this house-- how you will handle meals, common areas, guests, taking out the trash, etc., but believe me, they will behave like more than one person. Typically couples look out for one another at the expense of others, so keep that in mind. It doesn;t mean that they're not fine people, but in the case of a disagreement, you better believe they'll stick together.
If I were you I'd look not only at the actual space as in square footage, but how factors such as use of common resources will come into play. They will each be taking showers, generating trash, etc. Better, in my opinion, to start them off paying per person then adjusting down if it seems unfair. At any rate, $500 a month for two people is not much....

I would either charge per person or at least charge 40% of the rent to the married couple and divide the other 60% between you and the single lady. That way you are paying more (and the married couple is paying less) than if it was charged by person. Sort of an in-between.

Most people who rent to couples charge rent to the couple as one person. If they will be listed on the lease as a couple. So charge them together.

What i would do is charge a higher rate for the larger bed room because more people can fit and a lower rate for the regular size room.
