Can't they put a lien on the big, solid, not going anywhere asset the landlord happens to have in the country?
After paying the state, the tenant could sue the landlord for it and put a lien on the property.
Or, alternstively the tenant may be able to withhold rent until the debt is paid.
Just take the money out of the rent. If the amount owed is $1000 and their rent is $1400, just pay $400 rent and call it square.
The landlord may try to kick up a fuss but at least you can say you "paid" your rent.
It was six years of property taxes my bro, it is like saying your rent is 1400 and tax is 10,000.
Then pay $400 a month for 10 months? Pretty simple math. A lot easier than trying to take them to court and paying a bunch of lawyer fees.
Assuming the tennant has enough to do this.
6 years of back taxes and acurred interest. Plus legal fees.
Can I get some of what your smoking, I apparently am just smoking sage...
This sounds like the judge is quite aware that it's bullshit, but the law says it's supposed to work this way so that's how it ends up being. As in, the law needs to be rewritten to adapt to modern times where you cannot just tar&feather the landlord.
