"The following are the classes of chargeable dwellings prescribed for the purposes of section 8(1) of the of section 8(1) of the Act-
[Houses in multiple occupation]
Class C a dwelling which-
...
(b) is inhabited by a person who, or by two or more persons each of whom either-
(i) is a tenant of, or has a licence to occupy, part only of the dwelling; or
(ii) has a licence to occupy, but is not liable (whether alone or jointly with other persons) to pay rent or a licence fee in respect of the dwelling as a whole."
"Mr Malik has advised that the three bedroom property has been without tenants from 2003 until March 2009, and the sole occupier throughout this period has been Mr Ahmed."
"However, the Panel is of the opinion that the weight of evidence provided by Mr Tattoo supports his argument that more than one occupier has been in residence at the address since 2003."
The Panel goes on to explain why.
