council tax benefit

wondering if anyone can give advice on this

we were advised that the tenant moved out of his property in july we redecorated and relet in aug.

later notification from the council was that he now states he moved out in dec !

the council have triggered a tenant overpayment recovery for the overpaid HB but the council tax have adjusted his account so that the property was vacant in dec and have applied class c 6m exemption from this date


this has resulted in a ct bill in landlord name from june

surely this can not be right? would the tenant not be liable to repay the ctb overpayment and thereby allowing the exemption to run after that date?

thanks in advance of any help
