 TITLE: How to Split Bills With Roommates CONTENT: 4\\. Set Up a System\n-------------------\nYou'll need a way to track when bills are due, when money has been collected from each roommate and when the bills have been paid. You could keep a chart on the fridge or maintain a shared spreadsheet to track this info, or keep it simple with an app.\nHere are some to consider:\n*   Use Splittr, Splitwise and SettleUp to add expenses and have the app divvy them up for you. Split expenses proportionately if certain people benefited more or less from the expense (like the roommate with the bigger bedroom). Add recurring expenses, request payments and track payments. All three apps have free versions with ads or ad-free paid versions with a few extra features.\n*   You could use Venmo to request and send money for free for most transactions. It's primarily designed for payments, and you can use it to split payments you make via the platform.\n*   Designed for renters, Zently is a free app that sends a free electronic funds transfer or mails a check to your landlord. It also lets you split and settle bills with your roommates and pay directly from your bank account. If you choose, Zently can also report your rent payments to credit bureaus, which helps to build a credit history. END
