My sibling and I co own a property. By a long standing arrangement, sibling has rental agreements with some tenants and they pay her directly. Similarly, I have rental agreements and I receive rent. I want to file eviction suits for tenants who pay to me. Two lawyers whom I met are saying that I either need her consent or i need to partition the property first.
Sibling is not on talking terms since two years and has blocked all communication.
What options do I have? I cannot wait indefinitely to have her cooperation.
I was told one option is to make her a party to the eviction suit but I have absolutely no idea how she will react. She and I have not disturbed the rent collection arrangement between both of us anytime.
We do not have any formal written agreemnt that she and I handle some tenants each exclusively.
