Your council tax, benefits or business rates account will be offline

From 5pm on Tuesday 11 February until Sunday 16 February you will not be able to access your council tax, benefits or business rates account online. This is whilst we prepare annual bills. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Prioritising applications

Can the landlord refuse my application?

Yes. This may be for a variety of reasons.

These could be:

  • you owe rent or have other housing related debts
  • you are a council or housing association tenant and legal action has been taken against you because you have breached the terms of your tenancy agreement
  • you have resources to solve your own housing problems
  • you have not provided the required documents to support your application by the date given
  • your circumstances have changed and this results in a reduction in your level of priority
  • you have provided incorrect or misleading information
  • you do not meet the criteria set out in the advert of the house
