A cohabitant is someone who lives with another person, typically in a romantic relationship without being married.

The term appears in legal and administrative contexts where household arrangements matter: The lease lists both cohabitants.

Unlike roommate, cohabitant usually implies a coupled relationship rather than simple shared housing.
