    Even in respect of point 2) - unless the property is a council tax HMO (and certain other unusual cases) then the tenant is ultimately responsible for the council tax charge as far as the council is concerned and, irrespective of any contractual agreement with the landlord, it's the tenant that will be chased by the council and received the backdated demand notice.
    Indeed.



    But my advice to write to the landlord reminding him of his contractual obligation is still the best course of action.


    If/when the council enforce against the tenant, yes the tenant will have to pay. But at least he's already ahead of the game in terms of enforcing the LL's contractual duty.
