Homeowner refuses to pay ex-boyfriend back his portion of the mortgage after they broke up, claims it was basically rent: ‘You don't get rent back when you move out’

Imagine you are living with your partner in the house they own. You don't pay them rent, but you do contribute to the mortgage and the monthly payments that come with living in a house. Then, a few years into the relationship, you decide to break up and part ways.

Should the money you put into the mortgage be returned to you, since you are no longer associated with this house, or is that money basically considered rent for the years you have been living there?

These are the questions the couple in the story below is asking themselves. The homeowner believes they don't owe anything to their ex-boyfriend, and that just like landlords do not pay their tenants back their rent, there is no reason why their ex should get his money back.

The ex-boyfriend, however, firmly believes he has a right to some equity in the house since he has been making mortgage payments for years.
