He claims it’s so hot in his room upstairs that he needs it constantly running, but I’m like, you have the WHOLE HOUSE. You can spend your day in the living room if the upstairs is too hot, or god forbid outside

My proposed compromise is each roommate pays proportional to their presence at the house over the billing period

I think that gets abit ugly doing it like that. You all signed the lease therefore should be paying the bills every month. In a circumstance like this where one person stays and ramps up the bill by 200$ they should pay more. But I wouldn’t be counting days people stayed in the apartment, that gets abit political.

For example if you split the 600 even it’s 120 each. So you only pay 40$ more than what you would’ve paid anyway. I’d just have the one person maybe pay 200 and yall pay 100, simple.

I get where you’re coming from, but it’s just sounds a bit unfair to the other four people that they have to pay for something they didn’t contribute towards at all. It just feels like the one roommate racked up the bill like that because they were relying on the others to bail them out and it’s unfair that the others are stuck with this unexpected expensive bill because this one person is being stupid.

not necessarily playing devil’s advocate but have y’all had your AC checked out? our electricity bill halved after we had our AC worked on.

The other four aren’t living there at all. That’s so pointless and lets him off easy when it’s entirely his fault. Def make him pay all $600

Not how it works. All of the appliances would have been on if no one was there. The electric bill wouldn’t have been 0$ if no one was there. You expect the roommate to be in the apartment with no AC on all summer? It’s the other people’s issue that they aren’t there. Not saying it should be a 20% split between all 5, but a compromise should be met.

By your logic, they should pay the total amount of rent for the whole summer as they are the only person there too?

It is when we all agreed to it at the beginning of the summer since one person electively chose to stay there and his dad pays for everything

Oh now I see what’s going on. He’s trying to force y’all to pay most of the bill so daddy doesn’t find out he blew $600 on ac. It also sounds like it was already discussed that the one guy would be paying the utilities solo or am I reading that wrong?

Oh yeah then that’s completely different. If they agreed beforehand then yeah, they pay it themself. Sorry to the dad for the ridiculous bill coming in!
