I am starting a PGCE in September and the placement is far away from my home town, therefore, I will be renting a flat within the area of my placement.
Will I have to pay council tax?
Also, My girlfriend will be staying a few weekends with me, will this be an issue?
Thank you!

Not unless the property becomes her 'sole or main residence'Also, My girlfriend will be staying a few weekends with me, will this be an issue?
You should be treat as a full time student and the property exempt from council tax if you're the sole occupier.Will I have to pay council tax?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.0 -
Great! thank you!
