In my mind anybody that does not pay their bills by the deadline is in breach of contract.
ie. is a piece of work. I googled Quebec law versus the rest of Canada and the former is based on French Civil law and the latter is based on Common Law. So perhaps the interpretation is different. However it is not unusual for some people not to pay their bills on time wherever they are located.

When I was on our condo board I noticed infractions of every kind. For instance not wanting to pay bills, having pets in the building(no pets allowed), underage people living in an over 50 building etc etc. What is amazing is that the perps can justify whatever they do. So invariably we got a condo lawyer involved.

I understand where you are coming from when you suffer lack of sleep and deal with these azzhats. I experience that too but not having responsibilities at this time nobody has to endure my assertiveness. I would suggest that you talk about taking legal action and if that does not give you the results then follow through with it. You do what you have to do.
