Co-ownership, resulting trusts and constructive trusts within a leasehold

If A, who is single and has a legal lease over a registered estate in land, enters into a relationship with B, who then comes to live with A and contributes to rent, can B claim an equitable interest as a tenant in common via purchase price resulting trust, or is it strictly confined to a constructive trust?

ie: does rent within the context of a lease constitute 'purchase money', or does it fall within the doctrine from Curley v Parks 2004?
