No- living with someone while not married normally does not confer ownership participation. That can change in longer-term relationships if the parties appear, to the world, to be married- even though they are not.

Living with someone by itself does not create property rights, but it would be prudent for her to have a written agreement with him as to sharing expenses. This will make it easier to ask him to leave if they break up and avoid misunderstandings.
