The daughter is on social assistance (welfare) after a period of illness; she receives $655 a month.

I would talk to the city, and get a letter stating if this did or didn't require a permit (it did) then you have your proof to call there bluff.

Canada is a long, long way from socialism - our current Prime Minister and government walk the same path, if not a little to the right, as your Republicans.I could provide you with more information, but this is not the forum.Back on-topic, and a clarification to my prior post.

I recently had my attorney shore-up my promissory note (I loan to select flippers) such that I'm able to attach a lis pendens on the property in question, immediately.One of the things I learned is that it'll be a hit-or-miss proposition (but it is still worth it to me)... it's fairly easy to get a lis pendens dismissed in court, if it doesn't follow the strict FL rules regarding its relationship to the asset (real property) in question.You'll have to get an attorney to challenge the lis pendens, but this should not cost you much... unless it turns out to have a basis in fact, in which case the lender will have to show proof of imminent filing of an action sounding in tort.In my case, I use the possibility of a lis pendens (in my promissory note - in the event of default) to secure my interest in the property should it require me to litigate the note or institute a collection action.  

Which is why I keep my tax returns, proof of funds letters, W-2 and personal financial statements on my phone.
