0% balance transfer cc - eligibility checker, which housing option?

I'm wanting to check my eligibility for 0% balance transfer cards

I don't fit into the accommodation categories. 

I live with my partner and our/my children in his house, we are not married and the mortgage is not in my name. I don't pay towards the mortgage. (I realise the obvious pitfalls of this situation but it's by choice and that's not related to my cc debt, we share other bills and are both happy with the set up) 

I am therefore not a homeowner, private tenant, council tenant or living with parents. I want to get an accurate as possible response to my eligibility check....what option should I choose?

    I think it's the same as living in a husband-owned house, i.e. "homeowner"

    I normally say private tenant as I pay rent to my partner in a similar setup to you

    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.
