There are a lot of people here talking about splitting rent and bills; and the common method seems ridiculous. Messaging out every time you need a bill paid and tracking in a spreadsheet is a recipe for disaster - not getting paid etc. When I was house sharing (uk) the 'head tenant' would have a second bank account used only for the house. All tenants set a standing order into that account for rent+bills+house items, plus an initial float. After a few months adjust if overspending/underspending. So long as everything is split equally, or those that aren't (ie bigger rooms) are fixed month to month, this is the lowest hassle.
