Water should just come as a general bill so no worries there you can split that when it arrives. Best advice I can give you is steer well clear of having your name on anything. Nothing worse than chasing up people when everyone is skint. Otherwise see if you can just get the lot in everyones name and get equal split direct debits for the totals. If not open up a house account and all set up a direct debit chucking in enough to cover what you think will be the bills and a bit more for a slush fund. End of term use what's left (if any) for a house piss up. :beers: Title: student houses Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, August 15, 2005, 17:27:15 Gas, water, electricity was all done by the housing agency, we all paid a fixed fee per month
Internet we split the cost of 9 months broadband, phone line and the router with one guy paying it and we gave him the money which worked fine.

Everyone is then joint and several in liability for the bills.
If you need standard letters etc PM me and will email them over. Title: student houses Post by: Kinky Tom on Monday, August 15, 2005, 17:52:50 We had a joint bank account set up, which we all put a certain amount into each month.
