 Therefor the house would be the Principal I think, but what to do with the
 names of the
 residents, put them in the principal metadata or as an attribute of
 Principal?

The way you attach information on a principal is to use principal annotations. 
BTW, the homefoler implementation 
(http://svn.zope.org/zope.app.homefolder/trunk/) is a great example of how to 
associate additional information with a principal.

 To use the names in the form (As a choice), i've learned they have to be
 in vocabulary,
 but how do I get these names in the vocubulary after the Principal is
 authenticted?

You probably want to store the resident names in the principal annotation and 
then create a vocabulary that uses the principal annotation to build terms.

I guess it depends on what you mean by user account.  One approach
(apparently not the first folks think of) would be to use a separate
principal for each resident, and all residents would be associated
with a single shared account.

It really depends on what the account represents (billing, perhaps),
and whether it really mattered if you could really tell the residents
apart for an account, or if the honor system is good enough.
