Resident Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 They can apply for a refund - which they probably have, and your SIL is liable from when she moved in. She can of course pursaue the landlord for the outstanding amount and if the tenancy states that she'd probably win in a court case. However the council will still need paying I think. You may be able to persuade them otherwise with thea copy of the tenancy cannot hurt to ask. No need to pursue the LL on this, they've been made fully aware and today have made a refund request and a payment to my SIL for the amount. LL agrees it's bloody stupid way of going round things. It's just more hassle for everyone involved including the council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Cid Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 LL agrees it's bloody stupid way of going round things. It's just more hassle for everyone involved including the council. So the previous tenant was happy to be paying council tax at two houses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Posted April 13, 2018 Author Share Posted April 13, 2018 So the previous tenant was happy to be paying council tax at two houses? Previous tenant was the LL. They assumed that as the CT had already been paid in full it was just easier to, in effect let sleeping dogs lie and allow SIL to take over payment from the next tax year. Having met them they're an extremely nice couple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andco Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The previous owners would get a refund, once they tell the council they have moved out. Council tax does not run April to April, its worked out on a daily basis. You are thinking ill of your council, councils are honest organisations. you are joking aren't you??? Redacted contract, trees hacked and goodness knows what else that we don't know about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Council Tax in fact runs from/beginning 1 April to/ending 31 March. This is so for all Local Authorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you’re moving out of Sheffield, you’ll need to pay Council Tax up to the date you moved out. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/home/council-tax/moving-home.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxydebs Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 When I private rented I informed the council we had moved in and paid the council tax from that date, caused a lot less hassle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
