flatmate
This term is predominantly used in British, Australian, and New Zealand English to describe a cohabitant in a rented apartment. In North American English, the term roommate is far more common, regardless of whether the dwelling is a house or a flat. The word carries a neutral to positive connotation, implying a shared living arrangement based on mutual agreement and shared expenses.
Because it refers to a specific person in a countable social role, it follows standard English pluralization rules. It is distinct from a landlord or a tenant in that it emphasizes the peer-to-peer relationship of sharing a domestic space.
