PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

No, there is no need to back date anything unless your OH was claiming 25% council tax discount for single person occupancy
and best wishes for the future
I agree with this. If you're not claiming a discount, there is (as far as I know) NO requirement to tell the council who is living there. When my (now ex) partner moved in, I told the council that I was no longer eligible for the discount, but I declined to tell them the name of the person who was moving in. They had to accept that.
Clearly as the only one named on the bill, I was then liable for the whole amount, but the point is that you don't HAVE to tell them.0 -

I don't think it is. It's a requirement if you want to be able to vote, and it may be iffy to be registered to vote somewhere you don't live any more, but you can choose not to vote or be on the electroal roll.

It is indeed a legal requirement to be registered to vote at your main residence
however, I have never ever heard of anyone being prosecuted for failing to do so.0
