The High Court has just decided (in the case of R (Goremsandu) v London Borough of Harrow) that the landlord of a house in multiple occupation (HMO) was not liable to pay council tax to the local authority and that the liability remained with the tenants.
Given that many local authorities have been actively pursuing landlords for the payment of council tax where tenants have failed to pay, there will be many investors this morning heaving a sigh of relief!
