House Share Rent Excel Sheet for Rent & Bills

ronan45

Would any of you fine people have an Excel Sheet you have made up to keep track of bills and mainly Rent payments?
Something simple that can be quickly edited and printed. Or even blank for one to just print out and write the information on to?:)

I use the spreadsheet in google docs. This is better because it's free, and everyone can access it (even people without msoffice or pcs). You can easily share this document with housemates then. Also it's easy to lock it so housemates only have "read only" access, but there is also an edit history so they can see what changes have been made.

The sheet itself is pretty simple: has rows for gas, electricity, internets and bins - versus columns for the months. You don't need excel because there are no advanced features being used.

Hows it going mate, Cant actually find this specific sheet, Is there a link to it you can send me or a file name i can search for? The one I found has rent only. Would be appreciated :cool: Also I set it up so I guess your tenants to access put in your email address, so i guess you need to put a totally different password to your other hotmail and gmail accounts

Err I just made my own. Does not need advanced spreadsheet skills...

Just put the months in the column headings, then the housemates in the rows. Just share the sheet with other people via their email address. Read the help files, it's very straight-forward. No they will not be able to read your email just because you share a spreadsheet with them. They will have to sign up to google probably tho.
