What basic rights does each co-tenant have when owning property together?

Each co-tenant has the right to enjoin trespass and possess the property because all co-tenants have an equal right to use and enjoy the property. This principle is rooted in the concept of shared ownership, which grants each co-tenant the ability to take legal action against unauthorized individuals (including other co-tenants, in cases of trespass) to protect their rights to the property. This right to possess reinforces the idea that all co-tenants share an interest in the property and can collectively manage it.

The other options involve rights that either contradict the nature of co-tenancy or are not typically recognized. For example, the ability to sell one’s share without consent is often limited by agreements among co-tenants, which typically require some level of mutual agreement. Prohibiting access to other co-tenants goes against the principle of shared ownership and can lead to disputes. Lastly, the right to unilaterally terminate rental agreements does not generally apply in a co-tenancy setting without the consent of other co-tenants, as it would disrupt their shared interests. Thus, the ability to enjoin trespass and possess the property encapsulates the fundamental rights and collaborative nature of co-tenancy.
