Asked by
I am a co-owner of a condo unit with my ex-husband. While my divorce proceedings were ongoing, our tenants terminated the rental and my ex-husband then rented out the unit to someone else at a lower rental without letting me know. it was 6 months later when I found out and when I reviewed the rental agreement my name was listed as a Co owner but there was only my husband's signature. Is this legal? can I take legal action against my ex-husband?

Hi Carrie, as a co-owner, your signature is required on the TA too. I believe you have a case and you may like to consult your lawyer further.

Dear Carrie,

As what Aaron has indicated, a TA proper should have both signatures of landlord, nevertheless, it will be good to ask yourself what would you like to achieve in taking legal action against your ex-husband, and will it be worthwhile to spend on the legal costs to get something out from this situation? Would it better to sit down with your ex-husband and work out something out the situation amicably?

Hi Carrie,

Both signatures are rightfully needed.

I am very happy to see several replies from fellow agents, suggesting that you speak with him to found out the reasons and take it from there, amicably.

the current housing market has slowed down a lot. A lower rent is better than none.

Going to court ( touch wood, hopefully never ) is time consuming and not to mention costly. the tenant may be forced to terminate the lease and in the end, the real loser are the 2 owners.

I hope you get your answers from him and settle it amicably as 2 matured individuals.

regards
