They just changed my garbage hoo-hah here (new bins, recycling, yada yada) and all the paperwork was quite explicitly addressed to 'the ratepayer', and that's me.
There was actually so much ratepayer talk in the brochures it read like noone in the entire council would dream of being a tenant. They could have used the word 'resident' or 'occupier' or *gasp* 'tenant' at least ONCE ffs!
