dad died 2 years agol i was left his home. Worth 90,000. My sister was left it as well. My sister is a greedy person, and went behind my back, and rented it out, for 600.00 a month, to her daughter. I did not know this until tonight, when I went there to try and sell this house. ITS been on the market 2 years. I have no income. I want to sell this house, free and clear. Obvisously, my sister does not, as shes been making 600 dollars a month off of it, without telling me about it.
I want to sell it, Id sell it for very cheap- which is awful, because its a very nice home. I just need money,due to the economy.
what can I do? What are my rights? Does she have to sell? Should I go to the court house.
p.s I live in Maryland. If that matters. Allegany co., Maryland.
How can she hide the fact that shes been renting it out? ( to her daughter). there is no written lease. Just a verbal one. A secret one at that.
Any help is so appreciated, believe me.
This all just went down tonight. Someone is calling tomorrow morning, to give me an offer on the home. what can I do?? Help!!!!!
Thanks a Million

YOU DON’T NEED TO KEEP REPEATING THE QUESTION.
You CANNOT sell this house without your sister’s permission. You both own the house TOGETHER and you BOTH must agree to sell it.
Although the first answerer is correct, it also follows that you are entitled to half the income on the property. Really, all this should have been sorted out with your solicitor when the house was transferred to your names. If i were you i would get legal advice right away.
the rtfm guy is correct
but to show you’re not f***** around, I’d hire a lawyer or at least consult one
get it on paper, sue your sister
ever hear of candit camera; get her to admit she made some money and didn’t share it
sue the *****
if you have the do-re-mi for an asshole lawyer (like we rich folk do)
You need your sisters permission to sell the house. Half of the rent she is charging belongs to you.
You need legal advice.
