If I am going to rent an apartment with 2 others, how much more should I pay to get the master bedroom?

The master bedroom has its own bathroom. We would split the rent three ways, but I am willing to pay more for my own bathroom. How much would be fair to pay for that luxury?

1. Can you find the right apartment should be your question.
2. Maybe about 25% more and they split the difference.
3. How about paying extra 50 bucks per month for the solo bathroom luxury?
4. somewhere between $50 - $100 if this space is exclusively used by you
5. Don`t do it. It never works out. Others always have a reason why they don`t have there share of the money.
6. On $1000. per mo. they each pay 325. you pay 350. Doesn't sound like much, but over the course of a year it adds up to an extra $300. for you. If that doesn't please them then go to no more than $50 per mo. extra. Because, don't you know that if someone is in the one other bathroom, and you're not home, they will use yours and so will their guests. So don't get lulled into thinking that it's going to just be 100% yours. You are simply getting a location convenience not truly your very own bathroom.
7. I don't think you should have to pay any extra to get the master bedroom. Imagine, you have a party and the main bathroom is being used. I wonder where they will go? YOUR bathroom of course. Also, I think that the person who gets the master bedroom should be the person whose name is on the lease.
8. It depends on who signed for the lease on the apartment. If you are the sole leaser you can divide the rent three ways. If all of you are responsible for the rent then you should pay 10% more. Be careful. If there is a lease, you should all sign the lease agreement.
9. I think that 20% more would be fair but first I would look for other options to trade off such as who gets the better parking space or if one person is supplying all the living room furniture then maybe they get a discount for that. It is rare that all things are equal so splitting the rent 3 equal ways is not really fair anyway.
