I'm looking for some advice on how to split utilities fairly in my apartment. It's a 4 bedroom house where the attic bedroom is almost the size of the remaining 3 rooms combined. Because the room is so big, my friend in the big attic room lives with his girlfriend, making it a couple's room. I'm totally fine with an extra person, but I don't know how to split electric and gas utilities fairly. I normally would just say to split it 5 ways since there's 5 people, but I talked to them about it and they're not comfortable splitting it 5 ways because they argue they would be using electric and gas simultaneously, so the utility bill wouldn't increase.
TLDR: 4 bedroom house. Big room upstairs houses a couple, so with 5 people, how do I fairly split electric and gas? I don't think the couple will agree to a 5 person split, but I also don't think it's fair to me to split it 4 ways.
