Hi,
I just bought my first house (in Ontario) about 3 months ago. I bought everything on my own, I am the sole owner. My boyfriend and I are talking about having him move into my home with me. The arrangement we were thinking of was that I would charge him part of the mortgage (less than 50%) and then half of the utility bills.
I am trying to find out what happens if, after living together for 3yrs and becoming common-law, we unfortunately end up going our separate ways. What happens to my house? Do I get to keep it because it's in my name? Does he get to claim anything at all? Is there some form of unjust enrichment that he can come back and claim?
Advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
