IPA/IPO - can it be temporarily?

My husband and I both had our OR interview yesterday and it went fine. As I am working and my husband is currently unemployed (and we can bareley live with my salary) the OR said we don't have to pay an IPA.
As it happens my husband suddenly found a temporary job, starting next week for about 2 months and he will earn approx. 800-900£ a month net.
I earn 1550£. We don't have any children, just one dog, but our rent is very high (living in London and it is 1100£).
Does anyone know how likely it is that we have to pay an IPA? Would we both need to pay it? Or just me because I earn more?
Once the temp job will be finished will they take the IPA off assuming we get one?
