Hi guildy, filling out an AST, the tenant moving in has applied to Caerphilly council for the deposit and first months rent off them and the council are paying it direct to me. Do Caerphilly council become a relevant person on the AST please. If so, how am I able to get them to sign the AST as the relevant person please.

If the council pay the deposit as money (i.e. not a bond guarantee) then they will be a relevant person. You will need the contact name of the person dealing with the claim and then send the prescribed information to them for signature.
We had one personally like this recently and when sending the tenancy etc. for remote signature via Signable.co.uk, we added the relevant person to the recipients list and it all went smoothly.

Hi guildy, they won’t accept that they are a relevant person, so I have filled in the prescribed information with them as a relevant person and sent it to them signed by myself and the tenant. On your advice it is up to them whether they sign or not I have done my bit. Haven’t had to deal with a relevant person before so I take it I send them a copy of the DPS certificate, do I also send them an F033 please

All sounds good.
If you’re sending them the certificate from the DPS, there’s no need to to send F033 too – the certificate will be sufficient.
