Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan

I am in the process of purchasing my first house. My boyfriend of over a year will be moving in with me. Is it in my best interest to have him sign off on something stating he has no legal claim on the house since he is only technically a tenant while living there or am I being to overly cautious of him turning evil if things go downhill in the interim? (His name will not be on the mortgage)

He has no legal right to ownership unless he pays into the purchase or is on the deed, note or mortgage. He is a tenant, however, and you would have to legally evict him if he didnt want to move out voluntarily. Tim Klisz kliszlaw.com
