Post: Splitting expenses/payments on co-owned property

What are some common ways of splitting expenses in a co-owned property where one partner stays in one room of the said property and another one rents out a room? In case of loss of rent, is it common for the non-residing co-owner to carry the burden entirely, or some of it would go to the residing co-owner?

I am planning to co-own a property with a close friend. While they would be staying at the property, as I don't live in the same city, other room(s) would be rented out. If the responsibility of renting out entirely falls on me, the situation would be volatile for me, while my friend would be in a very stable situation as they would be staying there. The rental room(s) would be smaller, and there could be months without any available tenants. What would be a fair way to divide/share the financial responsibilities between us, so that neither party feels being shortchanged?
