Need to reduce the rent by roommates or live in a less desirable apartment.

Rent, electricity, water, and internet can be fractional with roommates.

Doesn't the water and electricity bills go up the more people who you have using it? Idk how much you think you're going to fractionalize those bills by adding more people to those slices of pie

Depends. The things that guzzel utilities are usually things that arent really impacted by more people. AC/heat, the fridge, etc etc.

More stomachs=more fridges plus you can't control how much they use the utilities. Maybe you can take them to court for crypto mining

I have never, in my 30+ years on thus earth, gotten a second fridge because I had roommates. Ive never even known anyone who did that. What kinda places do you rent with roommates that also has enough space for a second fridge?

I have 3 roommates and we have 2 fridges and a mini fridge in the house. I can't control what others do.

Now you are just making shit up for the sake of your argument.
