Do I have to pay Council Tax?
Students do not have to pay Council Tax, but you must inform the council that your are a student and apply for exemption as this does not automatically happen. It is the responsibility of every student to apply for exemption, your University/College or accommodation provider cannot do this for you, though we can help you!

You only need to provide a UK-based guarantor if you wish to pay your rent in three installments. You do not need to provide a guarantor if you’re paying the full annual rent in advance.
