  • sleeping in my caravan

    we have a caravan on the front of our property . it has power but no water or gas . my son sleeps there . As the caraven is entirley on our property and we do not charge him rent is it any concern of the local council that he does this .

    Hi. I would imagine if it were to upset the neighbours for whatever reason the council may get involved.

      Are you wondering whether you have to declare him for Council Tax purposes? If so, the answer is yes, you do have to declare him for Council Tax if he is eligible to pay it and not exempt under a different category.

          In which case, as long as your neighbours are happy, you should be OK.

            Also would be advisable to check your house deeds sometimes they have a clause about caravans.

              no clauses about caravans , no livesock allowed particularly , cattle horses sheep pigs ang goats. The neighbours are just trouble makers. If i leave the dogs for 1 hour they complain to the council. if my tenants arrive after twelve midnight the complain. I've had every jobsworth in the council round in the last two months .

                A holiday caravan kept on a property where council tax is paid is exempt. I wouldn't worry about your son sleeping in the caravan.

                    I agree. The point I was making eaarly in the thread was if the son was living in it (so it is not a holiday caravan anymore) then he would be liable for CT. As long as he's just sleeping there and generally giving himself a bit of space, there is no need to worry.

                    Glad I haven't got your neighbours mind!

                            As it has no water or gas, 'living' in it would not be practical.
                            I built a granny cottage some years ago and because it was 'umbilically' attached to the main house via water and electricity, it was exempt from council tax.

                              had another letter from my local jobsworth. They now want to know how many days a year the caravan is slept in. I think they may be trying to use the 28 day rule but does anyone know anything i can use to to defend. is there anything in lop1925 , i understand that as my son is in there, and caravans are set up for sleeping i'm only making beneficial se of my own property.
