My house in the UK is lived in by my son and two lodgers. The Council have decided that they are 'jointly and severally' liable for the Council Tax and have sent them each a bill.
Does this mean that they are not classing it as an HMO and if so is it because our son lives in what is his family home and doesn't pay rent, therefore they are not classing him as a tenant?
I don't want to ring them unless absolutely necessary because |I don't want to rattle their cage! They do have my contact details, and in fact sent me an e-mail a few months ago asking for information. They said it was because they were deciding whether or not it was an HMO and it was after my son reported a change in circumstances in respect of his Council Tax Benefit. So they can contact me if they wish.
