Council tax

Thank you for all the help and advice you've all provided so far! Unfortunately I have another question.

It appears that my ex has not been paying the council tax on the property we still own together. Am I correct in thinking that any arrears while he was resident in the property and I was not he is liable for, but any arrears from when the property was empty we are both liable for?

    Your correct.

    Your correct.
    I no longer work in Council Tax Recovery but instead work as a specialist Council Tax paralegal assisting landlords and Council Tax payers with council tax disputes and valuation tribunals. My views are my own reading of the law and you should always check with the local authority in question.
