British Columbia Tax Sale Properties / Re: about property you bought after one year redemption period

« on: August 21, 2009, 03:18:13 AM »

source from:  tax sale information of saanich, bc

Question 1:The purchaser has the right to enter on the tax sale property to maintain it in proper condition and to prevent waste.

does that mean that you, as the buyer, can check the property during the redemption period? but how if you don't have keys of the property, especially the original owners still live there?

Question 2: During the period of redemption, the owner may bring an action in the Supreme Court to have the tax sale set aside and declared invalid under certain specified grounds.

what does that mean? could you get your fund back?

Good question,

You go to court and begin the eviction process.  If they fail to leave within a period of time, you bring the sheriff with you and they will assist in arresting and evicting. 

But the person could be a renter, that could have a contract that you may need to honor.  In that case, the rent will go to you.

i saw an article on this forum that eviction takes a long time and costs more money. i just wanna know how long actually it takes and how much you gotta put in the procedure?

what are you supposed to do if the original owner doesn't move out after the property transferred to you? does it cause lawsuit or what?
