If he's 'paying rent', then you are the owner of the property, and you are responsible for maintenance, unless he has a lease or verbal agreement to the contrary.

If he's your fiance, and you're sharing the responsibilities and expenses, then he should pay a share of all the expenses.

It sounds like you haven't really defined your relationship, at least as regards to finances.

I guess the thing that strikes me in your message is the fact that he's 'paying rent' - that puts him in a tenant-landlord relationship to you, and I'm not sure that's healthy. Does that make sense?
