Am i entitled to rent relief if i live with my boyfriend? He owns the house so technically i'm just renting a room?

Yes, but if he's not declaring the income then you might get him in trouble.

I imagine if he's only renting one room he wouldn't be liable for tax on it under the rent a room scheme, but he does need to declare it.
