my fathers house can it be rented with out my permission?

If the Will states that the property was to be left equally between the four children then you are entitled to force a sale or to be given a quarter of the current market value. So the other 3 could get together and raise a quarter of the value and pay you off, then they could do what they like with their shares of the property. None of you own the property outright and therefore it is not enough to have a majority decision - all 4 of you have to agree.

Speak to a solicitor.

Renting the property out to a relative can be difficult anyway. What do you do if that relative becomes unable to pay the rent? It can be difficult to issue eviction proceedings against a relative. Also, don't forget that there is a tax liability on all the rent received.

It all depends on the will.

When my grandma died, she owned a house that she had been renting. It was agreed that the house be sold, and split between her three sons and husband. But because she had no will to speak of, my grandpa rented it for 6 years before finally selling it.

Same with my other grandma. She left behind a house and will that said the estate should be sold and divided between my two uncles and my mother. My mom decided to rent the house for herself, without her brothers permission. Nothing was done about it, until the bank finally took over the house.

No, they cannot.

If they wish to rent it, they will have to buy you out. That means having it appraised professionally

for the price it would sell for on the open market. Divide that amount by 4 and that is what they will

all have to pay you for your share.

Hopefully a solicitor is settling this for you all. Inform him of your desire to have your share in cash

and don't let any family member bully you into something you don't want. DON'T sign anything.

I've seen this kind of thing happen all too often.

Stand your ground.

If you have to get a lawyer involved they will have to listen, suggest they buy your share of the house from you [make sure you get an honest and fair appraisal] and buy you out so they can do what they want otherwise state you are opposed to the house being rented for the following reasons.......ps _ I am not a lawyer.

no they dam well cant,who the hell do they think they are, go to an independent solicitor you want the equivalent in cash for your share of the house before they rent it out to anybody do not let them bully you put your foot down if they tell you that they have not got the money then tell them it has got to be sold or remortgaged to pay you out.now stick to what i have advised or you will never get a penny remember also the solicitor works for you and he works on your instructions you tell him what you want him to do get him to write to the sister that is causing all the trouble to let her know if she does not do what you request he will get a court order to make her do what you want ok..

No they can't because they don't own it outright

However you could all come to an agreement to rent it out. but you'd need to make sure you all

get a quarter of the rent money, and that's going to be complicated

Well, in physical terms, they can.

If you disagree, they can still issue a valid tenancy, but you would be able to sue for any financial loss that their actions caused.

No, and I suggest you see a Solicitor asap before they give someone a tenancy agreement.

It all depends on the terms of the will (assuming there is one). If there is, any such decisions should be made by the Executor.

It can't be rented if his will was it should be sold, now can it?
