Tell him that you want out - so he could buy your half off you, but if he can't afford to or simply doesn't want to then the property would need to be sold so that you would get your half of the property's value.
But, how can he live in the house but you can't get tenants to stick or find new tenants? Are you trying to rent the house out as a flatshare? If so, this never works - people in a shared house never want to live with the person that owns the property and it never works out. If this is the case then it's not fair of you to solely blame him.
And, regarding the paying of the bills, those people that live in the property should be paying them - why are you paying bills if you have tenants? Tenants are responsible for council tax and all utilities bills.
It actually sounds to me like you went into the situation without thinking in advance of how you should run the house and without agreeing with your brother how it should work. That's all in the past now, so either you can establish some rules NOW (although it might be a bit late if he's set in his ways) or you can just take your half and leave. |

why would anyone put up with that? what is the matter with you? business is business get an attorney to help you get out of the this - either sell it off - buy him out and sell it later or have him buy you out...but get off your butt and do something... or continue being a doormat and stop complaining. |

I'd offer to sell my share or buy his share and dissolve the business relationship. There's a very good reason why you shouldn't do business with family. |

He has your number, and he knows where your goat is. Move your goat first.
Send him a letter telling him he is to pay the going rent for this size of dwelling. Tell him you will send him quarterly statements outlining income and expenses.
If he refuses to do this, then it's time to get an attorney to determine just what you can do other than force the sale of the property. I'm assuming you don't want to sale the property or you would have already.
God gives us friends to atone for giving us relatives. Just because you share parents doesn't mean you have to be best buddies for life.
He's a Richard Head and you deserve better in your life. |

do you know how many times I have heard this identical story? Nothing you do will ever make it right between the two of you - even if you do nothing. |

This is a very difficult question. I think a lot would depend on your relationship with your brother, wouldn't you?
If you can converse on a mature level with him, maybe discuss things, as to why he feels he needs to do these things that seem to sabotage, in your opinion, all that you are trying to do. find out if your goals are not in line, and take it from there.
However i expect you may not have that type of relationship. In which case i would maybe consider an attorney, and selling it or him buy you out or you him. Get into arbitration maybe?
I do not think this is a quick fix one answer situation. But hope this has given you some in site. good luck |

First, I'd kick his @ss. Then I'd toss him out. Then I'd sell the property and wash my hands of it all together. NEVER do business with family. Ever.
Now you are put into the position of "divorcing" your brother. Cut all ties. Seriously. Either that or turn it over to him. Release your interest and let him deal with it by himself. |

Offer to buy him out then kick him out. If he's that stupid about running a business then he'll jump at the lump sum. Make sure you get an appraisal so you don't get screwed on that too. Next time never do business with relatives. |

Sell the place or get him to sell you his portion of the place.
And if he won't agree I'd take him to court. |

Your brother is more important than money and the house.
He's just not a great business partner that's all. The best thing to do right now is to respectfully sell the property and take your share of the money and go your seperate ways.
Be kind to your brother through it so that you still have your brother, and your share of the money in the end.
If you are kind to him, he will realize later on his mistakes and will probably be a better person because of it. |

I would try and get the porperty sold. If he doesnt want to sell, you can get an attorney to force him into selling. You shouldnt have to work while he is enjoying all of the benefits. HELL NO! |

Tell him it's time to sell. Offer to let him buy you out.
You don't give enough information to discuss the tax issues (is this a house, a duplex, an apartment building or what?). |

I'd pay him my half just not to be this aggravated and stressed
and make sure your name is removed from everything
and when he loses it because of bills or taxes, then
negotiate with whomever and buy it all back in your name. |

This situation is like throwing good money after bad.
Force the sale of the property, let him have his share and walk away from it all, and him.
Cut your losses now before you continue to pour money and aggravation into this situation.
He's a parasite and nothing you say to him will change his attitude. |

Been there and done that, sell the property unless you can't for some reason. Sorry but most of our relatives are free loaders, there is always one in the bunch. |
