council tax - hmo

I was renting the room within a house which could be described as HMO. The room was fitted with shower and fridge.

Toilet and cooking facilities were shared with others, and locks on doors were installed.

Each of us in the house (approx 10) had separate tenancy agreement with

the agency for at least 6 months rental. There was no single word about

CTax within the agreement. Utilities were included in rent

Now I was approached by local Council for C.Tax payments. Apparently my room was registered as self-contained flat by the Owner at some point, as I never got any correspondence from Council before addresed to my room.(now caled flat).

I am liable for C.Tax payment or is it the Owner if the agreement was for at least 6 months rental?

Many thanks.

What's "HMO"?

You are liable.

In principle wrt the landlord's position, I agree,

But I find it very hard to believe that a non-self contained property can 'banded' in the first place.

I think the OP should appeal against this.
