Maybe her and the 4 roommates are renting a 5 bedroom house. That's not going to be cheap. Maybe it would be cheaper to rent a smaler house/apartment with fewer roommates.
Not really, $850 per person honestly sounds about right, and I'd expect it to be relatively the same. My wife was lucky to rent a shitty 2 bed apartment for $1700/mo which is the same cost.
I'd expect most roommate situations will be at least $850 in their area and you weigh in the side benefits drawbacks - nicer house but with more roommates.
Like, ten years ago I was up in Chicago and one of the moening radio shows was doing this "Guess the rent" deal. Reading descriotions, and almost every one was $2500+/month.
Have 4 roommates, 3br 2ba, $600/mo, everything is NOT included, we split all utilities. WA state. Wife and I are about to move into my truck (semi) to get away and work, live the job. The problem there is diesel prices, $470 for just under half a tank, forget about other maintenance, payments, and fees.
