British Citizenship application question ?Thanks

[pavisa2014]

Hi
I think I qualify to apply for British Citizenship now.
But I'm worrying about one thing I've just found out recently .
One of house I rented before which I lived for a year . Landload of house only paid 75% of council tax .
He told council there is only one person there.
So Is this gonna creating problem ?
Many Thanks

How many people lived there and what were they doing? There is a 25% discount entitlement for single occupants (I've had this for years as I live alone).

Also, students in full time education are exempt from council tax so even if you lived with a student you would still be entitled to the single person discount.

there was one student lived with landlord (working) when I moved in.
2 months later student out one guy(working) moved in.
I thought rent included everything ,we ddint have contract

Was the council tax bill in your name?

[pavisa2014]

no
I though he handled all those things.
I didn't received any letter from council too .

If council tax was not in your name then it is not an issue. It sounds like you were only renting a room in a house, so no issue.

As above, your landlord is the one who has been committing fraud, not you
