3.  A person is liable to meet housing costs where—

(a)the liability falls upon him or his partner but not where the liability is to a member of the same household as the person on whom the liability falls;

(c)he in practice shares the housing costs with other members of the household none of whom are close relatives either of the claimant or his partner, and

(i)one or more of those members is liable to meet those costs, and
