1. What is Rent Per Room Calculation?

The Rent Per Room calculation is a fair method to distribute rental costs among roommates in Malaysia based on the size of each room. It ensures that tenants pay proportionally for the space they occupy.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following formula:

\[ \text{Rent Per Room} = \text{Total Rent} \times \left(\frac{\text{Room Area}}{\text{Total Area}}\right) \]

Where:

\( \text{Total Rent} \) — The complete monthly rental amount for the entire property (MYR)
\( \text{Room Area} \) — The size of the specific room in square meters
\( \text{Total Area} \) — The total size of all rentable space in the property

Explanation: The calculation ensures each tenant pays according to the proportion of space they occupy in the property.

3. Importance of Fair Rent Distribution

Details: Fair rent distribution prevents disputes among roommates and ensures everyone pays a reasonable amount based on their actual living space. This is particularly important in Malaysia where shared accommodations are common.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the total monthly rent in MYR, the room area in square meters, and the total property area in square meters. All values must be positive numbers, and the room area cannot exceed the total area.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Should common areas be included in the calculation?
A: Typically, common areas are divided equally among all roommates, while private rooms are calculated based on their individual sizes.

Q2: What if rooms have different amenities?
A: You may adjust the calculation by adding weight factors for rooms with private bathrooms, better views, or other amenities.

Q3: Is this method legally binding in Malaysia?
A: While not automatically legally binding, it provides a fair calculation that can be included in roommate agreements.

Q4: How to measure room areas accurately?
A: Measure length and width of each room and multiply them to get square meters. Include built-in wardrobes but exclude common areas.
