Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Virginia

I own a piece of property jointly with my 2 sibling and 2 cousins, my sister refuse to sell and the rest of us want to sell. What can we do? Also she want to rent it out and we say no to that what do we need to do to prohibit her from doing so. My biggest issue is I do not want to be a part of this property because my sister receives all the bills for the property because her name is first in the Deed. She lost her own home in 2013 for not making her mortgage payment and she has all most lost this property twice for not paying the taxes and she did not inform us that they had got that bad
