I wonder if anyone had disputes with the local council re council tax?
2 years ago, due to house flooding the insurance company relocated me to an alternative accommodation, it was originally 2 months that kept getting renewed to 6 months, the terms in the contract stipulated that landlord should pay all bills including council tax, but two years later I get two chasers from the council about the payment as the landlord is refusing to pay it.
I sent the signed contract to the council, but they are refusing to look at it, and tell me I am liable for paying it.
I expect my option would be first to do a formal complaint to the council- I may have to pay the council tax myself and then take the landlord to court.
Anyone had running with the council about this?
Unfortunately my home insurance does not include legal advice, if anyone has thoughts on this please post.
