Lettings agent confirms contract became periodic at the end of the 6 months contract.
Indeed after hunting around for the contract it reads
We write to confirm that one or both parties have chosen to allow the tenancy to become statutory periodic tenancy and therefore no new fixed term agreement will be drawn up.
In which case, the council tax liability ends as soon as you both vacated the property (after the 6 month fixed period ended) and it ceased to be your 'sole or main residence'.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 -
my local council are trying to sting me with outstanding council tax for a rented property i used to live.
i moved out of the property over 3 years ago when the previous landlord sold the property i was living in to a property developer who wanted to demolish the house but the house is still standing and sold onto someone else.
the enforcement notices are from the period sept 2013 to sept 2016.
i was put into a B&B in april 2014 and i moved into a flat in july 2014 from the council but they are still saying that i still owe the council tax,,,,,,,,,, is this right, where do i stand as i cant afford to pay the full amount on £2,0000 -

You're probably better off starting a new thread to avoid it getting lost in this one.
How long was your original tenancy on the property and who put you in to a B&B ?

Obviously you don't owe it, but did you ever close down the account?0 -
Can you be a bit more precise as to the actual dates of your occupation of the flat, the actual dates set out in your tenancy and the start and finish date of the period which the council claim you owe Council Tax for.If you are querying your Council Tax band would you please state whether you are in England, Scotland or Wales0

The odds that the circumstances would make them remain liable are low but due to the way that council tax legislation works, it is still possible that someone could have remained liable for that period.Obviously you don't owe it, but did you ever close down the account?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.
