Are you sure there's a discount for the unoccupied rooms?CR001 wrote:Then it is the tenants responsibility to contact council and pay. You need to sort this out with your landlord as 3 rooms are not occupied. It should work out at X amount divided by 5 = individual tenants amount to pay.
Until you contact the council, you won't know what the amount is.
ok i will ask my landlord that whether he is HMO registered or not, but suppose if the landlord is not registered as HMO then in that case what gona be happen?CR001 wrote:Rogue landlord perhaps Casa. The rent per room should reflect the included council tax then if it is an HMO with a licence. If not, council will pick up on it when tenants contact them. I hope your deposit has been protected in a government approved scheme Kentish.
OP would be better off discussing his concerns about this with his landlord then.
That's good to know, never knew about this.Casa wrote:Interestingly, I've found this regarding the landlord's legal liability if they have a HMO licence;
RP: In a House in Multiple Occupation (HMO) containing bedsits or where tenants are paying rent for individual rooms on individual tenancy agreements, it is the landlord who is liable to pay Council Tax. Rent should be set to take account of the amount the landlord must pay for Council Tax. - See more at: http://www.landlords.org.uk/news-campai ... aoOvX.dpuf
The landlord can be fined up to £20,000 for renting out an unlicensed HMO. If you're still unsure of your position regarding Council tax it may be worth talking to your local Citizens Advice Bureau. The advice will be free.kentish wrote:ok i will ask my landlord that whether he is HMO registered or not, but suppose if the landlord is not registered as HMO then in that case what gona be happen?CR001 wrote:Rogue landlord perhaps Casa.

hi Casa Have you heard about "Rent a room scheme" ??Casa wrote:The issue with this now is if the property is a licensed HMO then the landlord is legally responsible for paying the Council tax, not the tenants.
If you are referring to the scheme where home owners are able to take in a lodger(s), then yes. i.e. http://www.spareroom.co.uk/content/info ... om-scheme/kentish wrote:Have you heard about "Rent a room scheme" ??
hi Casa Just want to know suppose if council catch that someone is not paying council tax, but still no letter been issued by the council then in that case home office still can refuse British nationality application????Casa wrote:Yes, it's a Government scheme for someone wanting to rent out rooms in their own home...i.e the owner is living in the property. How does this apply to you?
