hi,
i am writing this message on behalf of my wife who owns a second property with her brother. this property is at the beach and both siblings stay at the property (separately) over christmas for 2 weeks at the most.
my wife's brother has recently lost his job and he is now saying that he cannot afford to pay the utility bills. he also says (ridiculously) that we stay at the property more than him so he has to pay less (but he makes no effort to calculate his reduced payment).
Anyway, essentially, my wife's brother does not pay the bills and my wife is stressed. please tell me what my options are in this situation.
i think they are: my wife should just pay for half the bills and wait for the electricity to be cut. but then we won't be able to go down the beach.
thanks,
david.
