common law - worth showing utility receipts without our names?

[rhea_25]

We have a 2 year contract and receipts to show we live here but for the water and current bill, we pay it on behalf of the real owner of the house. The bills are given to us and we pay them but the names are the owners name, not our name.
My worry is if if we show them even with an explanation it may lead them to be suspicious about us living here.
what do you think?

My opinion is that the bills are not worth including. They don't prove, or even suggest, you are living together.

thank you canadianwoman.. i'm thinking you right..even if we show that we paid, the money came from just my account, not joint
Should we make mention at all about utility bills? Do they ask? should we just say we paid them on behalf of owners

I wouldn't mention them at all. If the visa officer asks about them, you can explain as you did here. They are not a necessary part of the proof.
