Tenants under 18
If all tenants in a property are under 18, they cannot be held liable for Council Tax. In this case:
- The landlord becomes responsible for the Council Tax charge.
- An exemption will apply while all tenants remain under 18.
Once a tenant turns 18, they may become liable for Council Tax, depending on the tenancy arrangement and who else lives in the property.
To apply for an exemption, complete the following web form and select the under 18 drop down.
