Included in that figure (and I'd have thought 2,000 more realistic for 2 people and a baby) is the housing 'fee' which is 5% of your annual rent, paid monthly. Comes out at 700Dhs amonth if you use any water or electricity or not.

You will also probably have to pay an agent 5% for..... Well they don't do much really. Showing you the property and printing the contract I suppose. Another 8,500 Dhs gone but that is a one off unless you move again.

I'd set a budget of 150,000 if you want the allowance to cover everything. Enough for an okay 2 bed apartment or a really, really nice one bed. Weren't planning any more children were you?
