Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California
Ex wants to rent out a room in a condo we own..
ex and i purchased a condo in 2003
(Joint Tenants). my ex left in
february of this year moving to
another city and has not made any
housing payments of any kind (i have
asked many times and have been
turned down). it has been on the
market for 6 months with no bites...
even after lowering the price 50K. i
have kept up on all housing costs but
have now exhausted my savings and
sold as much of my personal property
as possible. i can continue to pay my
half of the housing costs, but i
cannot afford to pay my ex's any
longer and my ex wants half of the
equity upon it being sold. i just told
my ex that i will not allow for any
more showings until my ex resumes
making payments and reimbursing
me for the missed payments. i just
saw an ad on craigs list where my ex
listed a room for rent in our condo
where i live, put an ad selling my
couch and love seat (i have in writing
my ex gave me the furniture in
exchange for a some property my ex
gets to keep). Can my ex legally rent
a room to someone in our condo
without my consent? and can my ex
sell furniture given to me?... can i
change to locks to prevent this from
happening? help anyone?

Re: Ex wants to rent out a room in a condo we own..
You should file a motion requesting that he pay one half of the mortgage. Further that he is not list any of the rooms for rent or the sale of any furniture without your written consent. It appears that you aree living in the house. If that is the case, having strangers come to the house regarding the room for rent could pose a significant danger to you. If he is living in the house then he should be paying the entire mortgage, unless he is financially unable to do so. Also you should have an attorney representing you, and you should be discussing this with your attorney not seeking information over the internet.
