Who is responsible for paying for Council Tax and other utilities?
The Tenant is responsible for the payment of Council Tax for the Tenancy period. Also, it is usual in most cases for the Tenant to be responsible for the payment of utilities such as gas, electricity, telephone, television licence, water and sewerage etc. As your Agent, we can set this out clearly in the Assured Shorthold Tenancy Agreement and subsequently, in accordance with your instructions, take any meter readings and inform the relevant companies.
