We have a house in Sonoma county, California. There are 7 adults, one of whom has a child; making a total of 8 people. The rental agreement specifies that all utilities will be divided equally per person.
The woman with the child claims that she is only liable for 1/7 of the utilities, and that we can't legally count her child as a person for dividing the utilities . I on the other hand believe she is liable for 2/8 of the utilities ( 1/8th for herself and 1/8th for her child)
Who is right and what are the relevant regulations?
