You may have been entitled to payment for rent, but it is hard to ask after the fact for four years worth. If she paid for the upkeep, maintenance, and taxes, during her occupancy, then she may have already paid a substantial amount of money. You should meet or discuss this with a real estate attorney who can review all of the specifics and advise you of your legal rights and obligations. Further, the attorney can then represent you in the sale to your sister to make sure it is handled properly.
