Re: Joint real estate
Absent a seperate agreeemnt, either owner may rent the place out. Each owner is entitled to half of the rental payemnt and each owner is responsible for half of the expenses of upkeep. I assuem you are the one that paid for the upkeep. It appears that you are owed half the rental fee plus half of what you spent on maintenance and upkeep.
Good Luck
