I doubt that you are responsible but you may need to write certain letters to them in order to make this happen. regards Matthew Hi Steve, if you take a look at the “council tax” post, then I answer this in some detail.

She asked if she could have a paying guest and I agreed. Her guest has subsequently applied for housing benefit and now the council think I have a multi-occupancy property and want me to pay the Council tax etc. I have sent them copies of the tenancy agreement which is really clear regarding the fact that my tenant has full access to the house and is solely responsible for all bills etc. However they won't back down. Are they right, what can I do next? Please note the guest was paying her not me, I have no arrangement with the guest at all. Thanks Steve Hi There

If so, unforunately you will have to apply for a new licence! Sorry. (and yes, what a money spinner eh?) Carole, I take it by HMOC you mean it has a licence?

We are buying the house in order to let the property to our doughter and four friends from September. Do I now need to apply for a HMOC in our name or does the certificate normally transfer with the property. How often do you need to renew (if at all) the HMOC? Many thanks for anu advice Regards.

A HMO is where 2 or more unrelated people share a property. If you have both bedsits and flats, it could be a HMO but there isn't enough information to make a judgement I'm afraid.
