I've not used Tomato so can't comment, but DD-WRT is similar. I have mine to specifically block high volume traffic like newsgroups during peak hours. You could do something similar with your housemate - prevent him using downloading protocols like newsgroups and bittorrent during hours you specify leaving the other machines unaffected.

I've also seen reports of DD-WRT being used for chargeable hotspot setups - that's one way to get the money from your housemate
