house-share
Split rental arrangement
A house-share is a living arrangement where unrelated people rent rooms in the same house, sharing common spaces like the kitchen and bathroom.
The term emphasizes the structure of the arrangement rather than the relationships: I found a house-share near campus.
Also used as a verb: She's house-sharing with two colleagues.
