I AM A FULL-TIME STUDENT LIVING IN A PRIVATE RENTED SHARED HOUSE WITH OTHER FULL-TIME STUDENTS (NON RESIDENT LANDLORD) You will not have to pay if you apply for student exemption. To apply you will need to provide the City Council with student status certificates available from SSiD. You can apply for exemption in a letter or use the City Council Student application form. Your landlord may also ask for a copy of your student status certificate. Bills issued for April 2004 -2005 or after: A bill will be payable but the student tenants will not be held liable. The person or people who are not students will be liable to pay. If you arrange to live with someone who is not a full-time student then they should be warned that the bill may be high – see Council Tax Banding below. If there is only one non-student in the property a 25% discount can be applied for.
Bill issued for periods before April 2004: If council tax is payable all adults including students living in the property will be jointly and severally liable for the bill. ‘Several liability’ means that any one person can be asked to pay the whole bill.

Did some research and found that you might be liable, thus do speak to your CAB if you do intend to pay. I suggest you siam the payment if you can.
