House Hacking Single Family Properties

Hi Everyone, 

I am curious and would love to know how you would split utilities amongst yourself and the tenants. This would be a house hack so you will be renting out the other rooms and sharing the common areas. FYI, I just received the book on house hacking strategy @Craig Curelop so the answer can very well be there as well but I love to have conversations with my fellow biggerpockets family.

@Byran Hyatt when I rented a room from a person in college, it was a flat fee.  I think that is easier to do than trying to split utilities etc.  My friend who is currently house hacking is advertising his rooms all utilities included, that way there is no confusion or frustration if 1 roommate take 1 hour showers and 1 takes 1 minute showers.
