Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts

Re: a joint deed,tenants in entirety

Your question does not include a detailed description of the form of ownership

or whether you have a lease or rental agreement under which you occupy the house.

However, the other owners can probably bring an equitable action called a petition to partition that

could force the sale of the property, and lead to your eviction. It would be a lenghty and costly

proceeding, but any one other than a married couple has that right.

Re: a joint deed,tenants in entirety

"Tenants by the entirety" is a phrase for a special type of joint ownership of property in Massachusetts owned by a married couple. Perhaps you are mistaken about your title. Why don't you send me your names and address and I'll check the records for you. E-mail to [email protected].

Form of ownership affects your rights.

On what grounds does the other owner expect to be able to force you to move out? Have you been abusive physically (or presenting a real threat of physical harm) to someone there? Are you not paying "rent" to a non-resident co-owner? You haven't made yourself clear to me, I'm afraid, and I can't comment usefully without more facts, I'm sorry.
