Agent and landlord enquiries

If you're agent or landlord instructed by a ratepayer or tenant, you need to attach their Letter of Authority (LOA) to your enquiry.

The LOA must: 

  • be signed by a director or a secretary named on Companies House records or by the sole trader or proprietor
  • state what you can authorise, such as account reviews, payments or applications for relief and credits
  • give a correspondence address if we need to issue demands directly to you
  • be dated within the last 12 months
  • come directly from the ratepayer or tenant on their company headed paper

We can't accept:

  • an LOA on landlord or agent headed paper
  • a clause within a tenancy or licence agreement
  • an email giving you authority from an unverified email address
