cohabitees
Sharing a residence
Cohabitees are people who live together, especially unmarried partners sharing a household as a couple.
The term appears most often in legal and administrative contexts: The lease lists both cohabitees as responsible parties.
British usage favors this spelling; American English more often uses cohabitants.
