flat share
Shared rental housing
A flat share is a living arrangement where multiple people rent a flat together, each paying part of the costs.
Common among students and young professionals in British English: I found a flat share near the university.
The term emphasizes the shared nature of the tenancy rather than the physical space.
Americans would say roommate situation or shared apartment.
