The dichotomy remains, one can charge a "lodger" more than the cost of bills, but if they become a "partner" and get the additional benefit of sex with the landlord / landlady, they also get a potential beneficial interest in the property, because something.

Tell him to buy the house next door for that amount. If he does and is still your boyfriend, you can pop round to each others for the benefits, and you get to keep your house.
No, just chuck him out it will be easier.

It's called living as one household. Sex really doesn't change it one way or the other.
The common rule is that lodgers don't share a bed with their landlord, but that's more of a simplistic point. Plenty of couples don't share a bed.0 -

Cake and eat it.
Either charge half the bills and nothing else.
