Ok, so my partner and I were having problems so he moved put and rented a room elsewhere... 2 months later we decided to give it another go, but we stayed living separately for 2 years... we own a property together.. was he liable to pay half the council tax or not?
Thanks

No... why would you think he was? He wasn't actually living there was he?

Then you are both liable, council don't care which one of you actually pays it they can go after both of you if it isn't paid.bosrebel said:He was living with me 3 or 4 days each week .. we own the property togetherIf you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.0 -
I just read your other thread OP. I'd have thought it would be a third of council tax that your ex pays as you have an adult son paying 'keep' too which surely goes towards the utahites and other household bills.0

council tax liability rests with the person who lives at the property.0

No, he isnt liable - you had no agreement for him to pay it.0
