Information for landlords

If you own a property, and rent it to tenants you are required to notify us when there is a change of occupancy. Details required are:

• The names of all tenants moving into or out of the property
• The dates each of the tenants moved into or out of the property
• Forwarding addresses of any tenants who moved out of the property
• any other relevant information.

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 10% 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.

If you do not notify us when occupancy changes, you will continue to remain liable for Council Tax.
