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.
