Every thing is legal if agreement duly drafted. Contact for same.

There is no legal bar to you and your American boy friend jointly taking premises in rent 

2) transaction is perfectly legal 

Renting a property in India as an unmarried couple is legal, but it may depend on the state and local laws, as well as the discretion of the landlord. You should be aware that while renting a property, you must create a rent agreement in the names of both parties and get it duly signed by them to safeguard your rights for the future. The rent agreement should also mention the ratio of the rent amount paid by each party and the mode of payment. You may also need to provide proof of identity and address for both of you, such as passport, Aadhaar card, PAN card, etc.

If you want to use the rent agreement to update your address on your documents for passport purpose, you should make sure that the agreement is registered with the sub-registrar’s office and has a stamp duty paid on it. A registered rent agreement is a valid proof of address for passport application.

Your backup plan of renting the property only under your name but having the full rent amount paid by your American fiancée may not be advisable, as it may raise suspicion from the landlord and the authorities. It may also create problems for you in proving your lawful tenancy and claiming your rights in case of any dispute. It is better to have a joint rent agreement with both of your names and signatures on it.

You can make rent agreement on both of your names, however don't disclose the rent ratio in the rent agreement. Rest of the things are fine.
