    That’s fucked up. Surely he could live at the property rent free for the time it takes to pay the debt.

      For sure he can, he has legally OVERPAID his rent for years. If he pays the taxes back at the same rate everything should be evened out by the time he’s done.

      The owner should forfeit the property if they don’t pay taxes. The only options Canada should have is if they want to gift it to this guy to get a mortgage on it and pay what’s due or sell it to get their money.

        That is what happens when municipal taxes are not paid.

      If I’m reading it correctly they only came after him after he had already moved somewhere else.
