Universal Credit housing benefit - new tenancy - seeking advice

Hello,

Appreciate advice around the following situation:

A single parent with schoolchildren, working but also on universal credit, including housing.
Has to seek a new place to rent privately, trying to navigate through the complexity.

If he finds an option to share a new place with another adult (a non partner who earns a very good salary) meaning a tenancy agreement with both their names on it - how will this reflect on his universal credit housing entitlement?

Thank you in advance.
