    Just click any of them and hope for the best, I suspect they never actually check.

    If your married or a civil partnership (not the non existent "common law married") then choose home owner. If you were to divorce/dissolve it the starting position will be its split 50/50 irrespective who's names on the deed.

    Weird they only have those 4, usually get living with family/friends as an option etc 

    Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness: 

    People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.
