• The names of all tenants moving into or out of the property

You must also note that for any period between tenancies, you will be made responsible for Council Tax payments. However: 

If the property remains furnished during this period, you may be eligible for a 25% discount from your Council Tax.

Or - If the property is unfurnished and unoccupied during this time, you may be eligible for a six month exemption from Council Tax. Please note, to qualify for this exemption, the property must have been occupied for a minimum of six weeks.
