    ok maybe the right forum maybe not but i got a tv licence question. i'm currently in a house that me and a few others are renting for 8 months while the owner is away. the last day though we get a letter telling us we need a tv licence. here's the thing though the tv is hers the satelite dish we have is disconnected and the room that contained the other tv and sky box etc was locked off to us until recently (long story) anyway my question is is it us that have to get the licence or is it the landladys? as we only have 3 or 4 months left in the house we'd rather do without tv than paying either a fine or the licence fee

    It's your responsibility. you can get stamps and transfer the license to a new address at a later stage...

    Just to completely clarify...

    Rented accommodation

    If you are a tenant living in rented accommodation with a television you must have a television licence. This applies irrespective of who owns the television (whether the television belongs to you or the landlord). The law states that anyone resident on a premises in possession of a television set must have a television licence.


    Moving to a new home

    If you are moving house, it is possible and highly advisable to have your television licence transferred to your new address. Simply bring your existing licence to your nearest Post Office, together with evidence of your new address (that is a household utility bill or a bank statement). Staff in your Post Office will then amend the details on your record and your licence will be updated and re-issued to you. This service is free.

    And if there is 10 of ye and 30 TV sets, you only need one licence if there is only one Kitchen. A bedsit without a kitchen needs no separate licence. A bedsit with cooking facilities does need its own licence.
