Re: two people owning a condo
Any property co-owned by two or more people can be sold in a forced sale called "partition". Have your attorney write him a letter explaining the costs and other problems that would develop if your co-owner refuses to buy you out or sell on the open market. Also have him demand return of your personal property immediately!
