Question
What is the name of your state? Hi,
I live in New York and own a two family house with my brother. We both own 50% of the house. The house was originally bought for us both to live in. My brother has decided to move and I’m still living there. My brother wants to rent his portion of the house; does he have the right legally to rent his portion, if I don’t want him to
Answer
Post this in the Real Estate Law section.
Answer
You have a right NOT to have it rented out.
But that ALSO means you have the RESONSIBILTY to pay for ALL the expenses on the house.
Why should your brother pay 1/2 of the expenses out of his pocket? He is being denied his right to rent it out so he can pay his 1/2.
see its not so hard, you want the whole house to yourself then you pay for it all yourself.
