Unfortunately, it hasn't been confirmed in writing, never occured to me, I would have this problem. I did pay her by bank transfers with a council tax reference, so that might be some kind of proof, I hope.

That's true, I just don't want it to come back and haunt me later.8)

Thanks for your reply:). I've transferred the money every month from my account, so hope that's good enough proof.

Hi everybody, I live with my landlady, but in the process of moving out. I've paid her rent, not included the council tax or any other bills. At the beginning of the tennancy, she suggested, that all the bills will be on her name, since it's her property and me and my other housemate will be paying our share of the bills to her account. So, I've paid the bills and council tax to her account for a year, but just found out, she pretended to live alone in the property and effectively claimed council tax discount. Now, I'm concerned, should I inform the council about this? I'm moving to another property and don't want to be accused of council tax evasion. Can you help please?
