So I just moved into a house with two other guys. It's nothing too nice. Just a three bedroom and two bath house. The total rent is $1200 a month. We initially decided to split it evenly $400 a person. But I got to thinking that maybe we should ask the guy with the master bedroom and own bathroom to pay a tiny bit more. Does that seem fair? If so, how much should we ask of him?

I think you should STFU and go with what you agreed on to start with instead of crawfishing on the deal you made.

Of course it's fair, that's the same thing I've always done when the place has a master with attached bath.

How did y'all decide he would get the master?

Either way we would just split it.

STFU and keep the original agreement, how did y'all decide to see who got what room?

He should pay $25-50 more for having his own bathroom and the master IMO

Well he kinda just picked it. I didn't give a frick where I sleep at. But we had originally decided that he would pay more, but we all paid the first month rent and he didn't put up any extra. So I didn't know if I should bring it back up

The dude with our master pays more than me and the other guy that share a bathroom. He should pay more, but you should have agreed with him in principle first.

That's why I asked if y'all discussed it before. If he agreed to pay more than he should. I take it y'all aren't close. Me and my friends would just say hey a-hole you owe a case a beer since you didn't pay more.

Hell yes you should OR you should switch bedrooms every 4 months, it only takes a few hours.

Since you already agreed to the rent split, you're late. Otherwise the master bedroom guy should pay a bit more ($420-$430)

He should. But you should have mentioned that sooner, don't think you should change it now.

I think y'all should have decided this from the get-go..

I would say $450, $375, $375.
