When a person is arrested, the arresting police officer may conduct a legal search of the area immediately under the control or reach of that person for evidence in connection with the purposes of the warrant, to protect the police or other citizens from injury or attack, or to prevent the person from escaping.

They can check the common areas where the arestee has access too. Example say it is your brother living with you, they can check the living room, the dining room, his room etc. but they can't check your room.
