Change of address or tenancy

You must notify the Council of your change of address.

Moving home

You will need, if you owned the property:

  • the date the sale of the property was completed
  • new or previous owner's full name
  • your previous or forwarding address
  • the dates for any period the property was empty and unfurnished

If you rented the property:

Change of tenant

Landlords, or Managing Agents, must notify us when a tenant moves into, or out of, a property. 

You must ensure that the information you provide is accurate and correct. When ending a tenancy, any Council Tax due is calculated to the day before, eg tenancy end date 15 July, Council Tax is charged up to and including 14 July. Please consider this rule when entering the tenancy end date on the change of tenancy form.

Use this form if you are a Landlord or Managing Agent and have to notify North Ayrshire Council that a tenant has moved in or out of your property.
