Filing Status HOH while living with partner

My question is 2 parts, I am selling my home and moving with my qualified dependents to my boyfriends home.  He owns his home, he has no dependents, & files single. We will not be sharing ownership of this property and all bills for the property are in his name.  I want to still be able to file as HOH, paying over 50% of the household expenses.

What is the best way to prove/document  I am contributing more than 50% of the expenses?

If its in the form of "monthly rent" , Can my boyfriend avoid having to claim rental income if I am writing him a check every month to cover my portion of the monthly expenses?
