“Live together” in Chinese is 合住 (hé zhù).

A dwelling becomes a common household space when several people live there and divide its costs.

在决定与别人合住之前，最好先商量好生活习惯和费用分担。zài jué dìng yǔ bié rén hé zhù zhī qián zuì hǎo xiān shāng liáng hǎo shēng huó xí guàn hé fèi yòng fēn dān

Before deciding to live with other people, it is best to discuss your living habits and how to share expenses.

In everyday Chinese, this word is useful for describing a practical housing arrangement, not just a close personal relationship between the people involved.
