How much more should a single in a house pay over doubles?

So I'm a college student and me and my friends just got a 4 bedroom house to rent for next year. There will be six of us in the house, and it will cost $4750 a month.There are two bedrooms of about the same size as a dorm room, a smaller room about the size of a regular apartment room (looks like a single, but has a huge walk-in closet), and a master bedroom (think the size of your parents' room when you were a kid; bigger than the others).





So i was wondering, if two people were to share the master, two people share a dorm-size, and a single takes a dorm-size, and another takes the single with a walk-in closet, should the singles pay more than the doubles? if so, how much more?





One of the singles is smaller than the others, and one double is larger than the others, but are we paying for the space we have in your room, or the privacy? We're all straight males with girlfriends, too, if you know what i mean





I was thinking the singles pay $50 more. $775 doubles/ $825 singles





Thoughts?

How much more should a single in a house pay over doubles?
You could figure out the square footage to compare the 2 doubles to each other and figure out a price from there.





The single has his own space, so that is a reason to pay more per square foot for that person.


Good luck.
Reply:I actually think that the couples pay more because technically, they are using more of everything. For example the water and electricity. One guy in one room uses less compares to a couple in one room where pretty much it's doubled. Yah the single person has his/her own room, but it's also smaller then the couples room.
Reply:You COULD base it on square footage. If utilities are not included in your rent, they should be split by the number of people in the house.
