Usually equally. For shared household expenses like internet, cleaning supplies, and perhaps even some groceries, I'm open to using an app to track everything, or just rotating who pays and settling up at the end of the month.

An app sounds efficient. I've used Splitwise before, which works pretty well. And the security deposit? It's usually a full month's rent. My share would be half, of course.

Yep, two equal shares for the security deposit is standard. We'd pay that directly to the landlord when signing the lease. I'm hoping to move in by the beginning of next month, so we should confirm that soon.
