there are 109 replies and only one has come up with a piece legislation that is of any relevance.

Whats funnier is that you are responsible for 42 of them.

Information from residents, etc.



3. (2) A person on whom such a notice as is mentioned in paragraph (1) is served shall supply the information so requested—

• (a) within the period of 21 days beginning on the day on which the notice was served; and

• (b) if the authority so requires, in the form specified in the request.

You were given the answer on the first page of the thread.

The fact you do not like or agree with that answer is up to you.

I'm sure that 2 legal teams could argue till the cows came home, each convinced they were right, and charge the taxpayer a fortune in the process of deciding the matter.

Even your QC will only have an opinion on it. You would have to test that opinion, presumably in court.

If you wish to waste your time and money by doing that, you belong on a different website. This one is called moneysavingexpert.com, in case you had forgotten.

Every letter you reply to is a waste of money, time and ink. Not MSE at all.

well im backing barry, not because i know or dont know about ctax law but because of simple common sense. i have never rented a full tenancy (always house shared) before buying properties, i have never been asked to provide my mortgage documents to show when the mortgage started?

and as others have pointed out on here, there is no need for a written tenancy, so what would the council do if this was not a written tenancy.

i would go straight to the manager and then the mp, this is ludicrous and yes, as others have suggested on here, this is exactly about principle. there wont be any liaibility on the actual tenant until the bill arrives in her name, there may be a court orde rfor the person on the bill to pay but as that person doesnt exist, it will be difficult for the council to get their money

Yes I did get an answer on the first page...and peoples' opinions just kept on coming didn't they...

And if you bothered reading the first post you would read that I wasn't sure if I would get an answer on here anyhow - a point I reiterated somewhere later on in this thread

Well go and have a look then - you obviously pay far more attention to this forum than that one. I posted it at the same time.

A long winded reply is not short.

"Go away, fool" is quite short.

Ignoring you is as short as it comes
