This is a very hard question. In one way, I can see how if you and the person plan on splitting the rent, you should still split the rent. That's the only fair thing to do. However, if part of your pay is living rent free, then hey I don't know what to say. Here in Tallahassee, FL since we have both FSU and FAMU a lot of reality places have individual lease plans. This is very popular among college students like myself. If you don't know what it is, it's like all the roommates have a flat rate. Let's say the rent for a 4 bedroom 4 bath a place here called Campus Lodge is around 450 a month. That means that each person has to pay 450. Therefore if roommate A doesn't pay his/her 450, your living situation is not put in jeopardy. Worse case scenario, they get evicted and a new roommate is placed in your apt. Now I know you're like damn 450. But places like these are all inclusive. Everything is included in your rent. All Utilities including basic phone (no long distance) and cable. Depending how you look at, it could be a good deal....
