Yes, you can make a single claim but it may well be investigated.

On the face of it, no financial links, nothing registered at your address, no joint bank account, it does sound as if you have a case for a single claim.

However, you only need one nosy neighbour to report you and there will be hassle and an investigation.

If you want to totally avoid this why not ask him to leave and go and live with family/friends until he gets himself 'sorted'? This is by far the best solution as you can then move on with your (and your child's) life.

None of my business but it sounds like he's using emotional blackmail to stay.

Is he working? If he is then he should be able to find a flat to rent/house share. You say he hasn't given you any money towards bills etc so he must have plenty saved for a deposit/rent in advance.

If he is unemployed then he should be going to the council and asking for advice about a Rent Deposit Scheme, Discretionary Housing Benefit, applying for JSA etc so he can get a place of his own.

At the moment he has little incentive to move on (in all senses of the word)

If he's just recently moved out of his mums why doesn't he just move back there. If he does before you put in your single claim that will just avoid any questions or investgations. I know you say this man has bonded with your daughter but its only been 3 months better to make the break now than let her get more attached to your ex

is he the father of your daughter?

And in whose name is the house?

Unless his name is on the deeds/rental agreement, go down to the police station, explain the problem and then go home and tell buggins to move out.

If he refuses, then ring them and ask them to help remove him.

Try to do this last when your daughter is not around.
