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

I Need Some Asap Help On A Home Ownership/selling/leagal Issue. Buyer Calling Tomorrow. On Verge Of Breakdown?

You cannot sell this home. Your sister owns half of it. She would have to agree to sell it. If she doesn’t, you can’t. Period.
You can sell you undivided interest in the home but the person who would buy your undivided interest would then be in the same position as you are in…Your sister owes you half of the rent money since you legally own an undivided 1/2 interest…Your sister does not have to sell her undivided 1/2 interest unless she would agree to the offer that you are getting…Sounds like you may need to file a claim in court to get your share of what your sister is been secretly getting n income, especially if this has been going on for a substantial part of the two year period since your dad’s death…
