It will depend on your rent agreement.I rent and I pay the council tax.In the past I have rented and the owner has paid the tax.As you are only renting a room it would seem more likely that the house owner would pay the tax --but you will have to check with the local authority if your rent agreement does not stipulate who is responsible.

Generally it is your responsibility to pay any Council Tax due not the landlord's. But many do include this in the rent so check your documents.
If you are liable it is better if you approach the council to avoid a large bill building up.

You might have to pay , as a single person
Council tax , the way it worked out is very complexed , it all depends as to your contract with your landlord
If you need to pay , the Council will soon let you know

Depends on the agreement you had with your landlord - also if you are a student you dont have to pay

It's the landlord's responsibility to ensure it is paid - but you may have to pay towards it.
