Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

Two siblings own a vacation property as tenants in common. One sibling rents the property to a third party without consulting the other and collects all rental income for themselves. The other sibling later demands half the rental income, asserting their ownership interest in the property. Is the renting sibling required to share the rental income, and why?

  • Yes, the renting sibling must share the rental income because cotenants are entitled to an accounting of profits generated from the property.

  • Yes, if the non-renting sibling has contributed to the property's expenses, such as maintenance or taxes.

  • No, the renting sibling is not required to share the income because each cotenant has the right to independently use or profit from the property.

  • No, unless the non-renting sibling can prove harm or exclusion from the property.
