Hi Fellow Landlords Can anyone enlighten me on the situation about Council Tax and empty properties. I know under normal times Derby City Council allows 28 days free when a tenant moves out, but does anyone have any experience of Derby City weather they are waving the C Tax during these difficult times for everyone. I have 1 vacant and 1 becoming vacant and my letting agent has closed their doors at the moment, so I have decided not to let them at present any comments welcomed Richard
