I live in a home where the owners rent rooms.I am alone. The other family is a total of 9.The owner & his wife lives at the same residence.So there is a total of 10 people all together. 7 adults -1 high schooler -2 young ones.One month the pge bill came up to 450$.
I feel that the bill should be split amongst the 7adults, which would bring my share to apprx.65$ per person. I have always given 100$ no matter how large/small the bill was.I heard from the other family that I should be paying more than what I give.I disagree.Their reasoning is: in my room,I have1 tv, a laptop, a small refrigerater and at this time a fan.They have the same & more but believe that I use more electricity than all of them together.Can anyone tell me how much does each of my items cost me to use daily? I do work so I am not home until 5p while 3 of them don't work. They are home all day on using three computers, tvs for the little ones and cuz its been hot many fans, etc. I believe I am fair in this. Do U

OK my advice is the same as the other guy, move out. It isn't fair for them to decide how they want to divide bills, and they are counting on the fact that you are working so to them that means you can afford to pay more.Solution-leave while everything is good.

Whatever you agreed to is fair, 1/7th, 1/10th based on sq ft of living space or as they want to do a percentage of use. The 100 seems generous to me, how do you split the other bills like water, sewer, cable, internet and phone if you share the services?

You should move.
The other people want you to pay more than your share so of course they will say that you use more PGE than they do!
