PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

the two months after I vacated the property and gave my notice and the end of my rolling contract period.Brie said:what 2 months are they after?0 -
Do you pay the CT to the council directly, does your LL include it in the rent, or does your LL invoice you for it separately?0

so you were there early in April and then left at some point. did you tell them when you were leaving? or just that you weren't renewing as of 15th June?
what you owe will depend on what you date you paid up to for tax and what date you actually left. there is currently about 3 months between your first post and today so if you didn't pay anything then it's possible that something is owed.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

Based on comments on the first page and the legal examples it seemed pretty clear to me that as soon as I vacated the property the council tax liability fell to the landlord. I gave them all the required notices at the required timings and kept them updated along the way.Brie said:so you were there early in April and then left at some point. did you tell them when you were leaving? or just that you weren't renewing as of 15th June?

In which case you should settle your liability (if any) directly with the council. I'd also dispute the deduction with your deposit protection scheme.firsttimebuyer15 said:
