Do you pay council tax and council rent if unemployed and live at home?

Whether you pay council tax and rent while unemployed and living at home depends on your specific circumstances. If you live with your parents or guardians, you may not be responsible for council tax if you're under 18 or if you're a full-time student. However, if you're over 18 and not exempt, you may need to contribute. As for council rent, if you don't have a rental agreement in your name, you typically wouldn't pay rent; your parents or guardians would be responsible for that.
