Hi guys,
I'm shortly moving into the missus' place and today rang the local council (Northampton) to cancel my council tax.
I currently rent my flat and was asked by the woman on the phone when my tenancy agreement was due to end, in response I told her it was the 29th October.
Much to my surprise she then informed me that I shall still be responsible even after vacating for the council tax until another tenant has been moved in!...
This is all becuase I am apparently obliged to pay as I have entered an agreement with my tenancy..
I've looked into other councils who do not seem to enforce this.. is it me or is this bloody stupid?
It's hardly affordable paying x2 sets of bills!
