A: Without knowing your specifics and seeing all your documents, if you are both tenants in common on the property, then one's ownership rights cannot be hindered for what would be a legal purpose. Having someone living with you is a legal purpose of a home, and therefore would normally be allowed. You need to contact an attorney and have them go through your individual case to get your best course of action.
