Should I take my friend's offer of his flat?

What about council tax if the OP (student?) was a "lodger"? would the (LL) friend not still be liable? Or is he a student too?
He would also be registered at his new place.0 -

He's not a student. He has pretty much said (which I probably didn't quite get across in my OP) that I would be living at his flat (where he is currently living) and he would be living in his new house.
Not too sure if this is going to happen now - I received a text from him last night which said he's not sure when he'll be moving or selling and he did say that rent around here is quite high - I currently £100.03 per week for halls and from what I've seen, would be looking at least £110 per week excluding bills.Sealed pot challenge #232.

What you *think* is called tax evasion. The OP has clearly stated his friend would NOT be using the flat as as his main residence.Declutterbug-in-progress.⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️0 -

I think you are going too much by the letter. This can be just a simple room let. The tax man is not going to come after this guy they have much bigger fish to fry.0
