    Council Tax liability order lost in post

    I have stated to the Council that I did not receive a liability order for council tax following a void period and that I want to see proof of delivery. The council have replied stating their postal service does not include proof of delivery and that proof of postage is proof of service in this matter. Can I appeal to such? The Valuation Tribunal doesn't appear to deal with this.

    As a side note, when the council tax department did not receive a document from myself a couple of years ago they insisted on proof of delivery!

    You were liable for notifying the council of the void, so you should have been aware if there was a missing payment demand.

    Landlords here are advised not to use signed for services, as rejection by the recipient is proof of non-delivery.

      You are responsible for paying council tax and the notification from the council is essentially a courtesy to encourage prompt payment.
      You were liable whether or not you received any communication from the council.

      Same with most taxes.
      When I post, I am expressing an opinion - feel free to disagree, I have been wrong before.
      Please don't act on my suggestions without checking with a grown-up (ideally some kind of expert).

        none payment will result in a day out at the magistrates court

          Hi, I’m a new tenant and was just looking on some perspective.

          I signed for a property via a Lettings agent recently, I was told upon signing the inventory showed some cleaning discrepancies however I don’t mind cleaning so was happy to proceed. I’d had a viewing and was told everywhere...

          not too long ago i had a bath that would not empty , tried the usual sink unblockers to no avail. had to take all the drainage apart and clean it out ... it was old grouting that had blocked it and only physically cleaning it did the job . the op is quite right to inform the landlord and lets hope they...

          My kitchen sink has been blocked for almost 3 weeks.

          The landlord/agent has been dragging his feet getting a plumber out and when someone did come, they confirmed my suspicions that it's something more just needing to pour some unblocker down (this is why I haven't called someone out myself...

          Thanks jpkeates,

          I was't sure at all how already having an existing PO and trying to start a new eviction process would work.
          But suspected that it wouldn't work. or would cause problems.

          Hello All

          I am waiting for an eviction ban to be lifted but as time goes I lose hope that it will happen in the near future or ever. What then are our options to get our property back if the tenant never moves out ? My tenant won’t move out until bailiffs evict him. I have PO based...

          Usually heat is the best unblocker as it melts the fat. I get it dry then add boiling water from the kettle. But it wont melt candle wax.
          most plumbers would dismantle a sink waste pipe if theycouldnot unblock it.

          hit, nail and head.

          I think the OP needs to have a clear mind about what they want to do and apply for planning ..............

          Hi. Quick question

          property portfolio is under probate.

          the land-lady (Mum) used the family office address as the landlord address on the tenancy agreement, rather than her home address. Always did this for 20 odd years.

          Under probate, I have to sign a new tenancy...
