How would I say "living arrangement" in Russian?

More than that - saying "Я живу с соседями (соседом)" is perfectly OK meaning that you share an apartment, while "Я живу у соседей" means that you have been thrown out of your room (possibly for not paying your rent? :-)) and the neigbours kindly agreed to let you sleep on their doormat. So, "я живу у соседей" is totally wrong.
