cotenant
Joint lease holder
A cotenant is someone who shares tenancy with another person—typically a joint renter or leaseholder on the same property.
The term appears in legal and real estate contexts: Each cotenant is responsible for their share of the rent.
Cotenants may have equal or unequal rights to the property depending on the arrangement.
