I have a property with 3 people sharing under one joint short term tenancy. One is a student, 2 are not and council tax is therefore due. The 2 non-students are vacating the property early but not cannot terminate part of the lease so will still pay rent.
Can I declare to the council that only one student is then resident and therefore obtain Council Tax exemption?
Should I get the tenant to declare they have vacated in writing as evidence for the council?
one student 2 non students is 100% council tax
1 student is 0% council tax but they are on the lease there fore council tax is applicable
If council challenge it you have non students on a lease
You could try and write to council and state only once occupant is a student and other two have left and see what happens
Really your contract should match occupancy in case of challenge
If you are taking rent then you are saying they are liable for the contract and thus council tax , if your contract stipulates such
Yes, you can do that.
