Many good points made in previous posts.
Look at it this way:Your boyfriend gives you the half needed to make the repairs to your house. You will be the only one benefiting from the sale of the house since it is only in your name. You guys decide sometime in future to end the whole thing. Will you refund his share, or chalk it up as living expenses that he certainly enjoyed -- while paying rent?
As a legal landlord (owner of the home and collector of rent), you are the one responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the property, and for providing decent living conditions for your tenant.
If he shells out the money for the repairs, you should refund his money by reducing next month's rent. That way it's all square and no one feels the other has taken advantage. Then, your boyfriend should look for his own place.
