    Hi there Daryl
    Many thanks for sharing your thinking. I get your thinking, and yes – life tenancy fits in S.575 well.
    I too have been weary of S.577 over the years (though my caution was associated with the necessity of the ‘order’ … I had never got so far as to realise the subsidy implication). I think there may be some confusion out there around S.577.
    The OLG Debt Guidelines from 2018 promote it as a hardship option and maybe this is when it showed up in many councils’ policies.
    Thanks again
    Regards,
    Cherie.
