I don't think cohabitating with someone necessarily means you are instantly considered to be in a common law situation.
I believe it is more of a if you have been living with then you are entiteled to the benefits of common law status, ie health benefits (if work offers them) and tax implications.

So I don't think that a roommate can just claim that the two of you were common law if you both kept seperate taxes and things of that nature.
