Student Council tax exemption – Proof required?

Portsmouth Council are bugging me for details of my student tenants’ courses and student status. They claim I have to provide this as I am liable for the council tax.
I can do no more than provide them with the names of the tenant who are clearly ignoring the council’s request for information and proof of student status.
Where do I stand?
Many thanks
Alan

This isn’t feasible either way – if you’ve got signed AST’s before the term starts as you should have, you can’t put up the rent or evict them.
