Money Moral Dilemma: How should we split the bills in our house?

A lot depends on whether they are living in the house or own it and rent it out. If they live there, should be 3 ways on utilities - how the married couple split that is up to them - but 50:50 on repairs & maintenance. But if they rent it, it's presumably a business and should be a separate account Repairs and maintenance would be paid out of that account. Presumably there are some tax allowances and liabilities to consider. Any income taken from the account would be 50:50.

I agree with Martin Wickham's split of 25:25: 50 for property related costs and for the utility bills 33:33:33 with the couple picking up the extra 1% to make this 100%.

Your sister and her husband are jointl owners of one half you are the sole owner of the other half. The bills should therefore be split 50-50 - half from you, half from the couple.
