Yep I understand this, but as a tenant who is renting only a room (25% of the house) - not the entire property, should the LL not contribute to the CT?

you have already been told in your previous thread that you cannot force the LL to do anything other than what is in your contract


and that contract (vaguely worded) says "you" have to pay the CT



you can bleat as much as you like but it is down to what you and your LL agree, not what the internet says is, or is not, "fair" since the internet did not sign your contract

I have a similar story - although this was 20 years ago so some of the laws may have been different then...

I failed my 1st year university exams but was allowed back at the start of the 2nd year to retake them. I had already arranged my shared house for the 2nd year so lived there to begin with. When I failed the retakes I was no longer classed as a student so the council tax liability for the property went from 0% to 75%, which because of my contract I would have been fully liable for.

Luckily I managed to negotiate a mutual surrender so that the LL could get another student in instead.

Edit - You can replace 'failed' with 'didn't turn up to' in both of the above instances

Didn't like the answers so looking for more acceptable ones?


Just wants to keep venting at the 'unfairness' irrespective of the legal position?
