Once the tenant has moved in, we will email the council, it is always advisable that you contact the council as well to ensure that your liability has ended. With electric/gas/water we will provide meter readings (where possible) to the tenants and ask that they set up their accounts. The ultimate responsibility is with the tenants to set up their bills however we will do all we can to ensure they set up their accounts.
When the tenants vacate they will advise the providers that they are vacating and the council tax will be placed back into your name as landlords are responsible for the void periods.
