<prompt> Human: My partner recently bought a house for us to live in that requires some work. I pay monthly rent to him which is half of the loan he pays back to the bank. We share all bills except cars and phones. Am I obligated to help pay to renovate the bathroom here? Its not my house but we live here together and he bought it with the intention of making a family home for us  <response>: I wasam in a similar situation with my partner. He bought a house and I moved in under the impression that it Would be our forever home. I pay my share of rentbills. Normal maintenance and materials I contribute to as part of living in the home. Anything beyond that like remodels or new furniture we split, but add totals to our written agreement that if I move out he buys out my share we wrote in options for a payment plan if amout is high. Its not a perfect system. It doesnt take depreciation into acount. But since we dont plan on needing it, it was our best solution.
