Split the Rent solves roommate rental disputes swiftly and fairly

Have you ever been part of a rental where one room is a lot smaller than the others? It's not often you come across an apartment or a house where all the bedrooms are the same size, but how do you split the rent so that it's a fair representation of the place?

Split the Rent is a Web app that works out the proportion of the rent each roommate should be paying. It works by asking a series of simple questions about the sizes of the rooms in the shared property, what the living space is like, and whether any of the rooms have bathrooms, 'awesome' windows, and closet space. It'll even take into account whether one room or another has poor sound insulation, a common problem amoung rentals, and something you simply can't get around.

It's a simple, yet brilliant idea, so next time you move into a new place you share with friends, perhaps put it to the test and work out whether you're paying your fair share of the rent.
