My opinion is that you should use the profit (remember you need to set money aside for inevitable fixes) from the rent on your home to pay the utilities, taxes, and insurance on his home and then split all expenses that are left. That way you are truly sharing both homes. It really isnt fair that you would move in with him rent your home out and not share expenses, neither would it be fair for you to pay "rent" and utilities in his home. To me the only fairness is when you are "using" both homes together.

I am curious is there a large difference in your incomes (when you do not include the rent from your home)?

P.S. If Dan wants rent in addition to utilities he is ridiculous and selfish.
