So far in the model, household benefit are calculated using the "loyer" variable.
It is assumed that each familiy pay the rent of its household (men) but in case of more than one family that rent should be shared into the families.
You can think about house-sharing to be convinced.

By the way, if I'm not wrong, there is a special legislation in that case.

Yes, we should do something for both splitting the loyer and house sharing (variable coloc).
I think we included the variable (but it is fixed to False) and wrote the legislation to take care of it.
But we didn't do the entire work since we usually excluded student from our analyis.
If you have an idea to fix that please do not hesitate to share ypur thoughts (remember that loyer are imputed ...)

The simplest and safest way to do it should be to deal with that issue during the imputation.
The rent value maybe be imputed only at a house level I presume but as families are already in input dataset, we can share that rent between them.
Then "loyer" become an family-entity variable. The sum over families get the household real rent.
