AR 600-20 is very clear on this issue. It is a NOGO. Here is an extract of AR 600-20. I would strongly encourage you to read the entire paragraph as it pertain to Fraternization.

I have to disagree, provided that your relationship as roommates is landlord/tenant; as in he sublets from you. If he is in your CoC that clearly provides a situation in which the integrity of the CoC could be compromised even if not otherwise prohibited.

Auston,
Officers and Enlisted are prohibited from sharing living quarters under any circumstances, unless directed by mission requirements. (Think downrange during a combat deployment.)
The tenant/landlord exception does not apply to renting a room within the same living quarters. The exception applies when renting a house or apartment in its entirety. As in, an enlisted Soldier is PCSing overseas and rents his house in the US to an officer or vice versa. This is allowed.
An officer cannot rent a room from an enlisted Soldier, or vice versa, if common areas, kitchen, living room, etc, are shared.
