I know this has been asked before, but can't find a similar thread to my particular question.
Back story Both in late 40s, my newish partner is now living with me, and all going well. We go halves on food and he gives me £175 for bills, with me paying the whole [small] mortgage. I dont want him to pay any towards the mortgage as I don't want him to 'claim' if we split, and I want my property to go to my children - he has none. He doesn't have any property either to have to pay out for. So basically he lives with me for £175 + food. He earns about 8k more than me, and my wage is OK [I have and can afford to live on my own]
So my question is, how much is reasonable for him to pay? I thought i could charge him 'rent' of £300 plus bills. WOuld this be a reasonable request? Would this be like he is paying towards my mortgage because I dontwant him too, but I do think he could pay more really as he has a good deal living with me.
Any advice? Anyone had similar??
