Any tenant in common can sell his or her interest in the property without the consent of the cotenants, but no cotenant can attempt to transfer the entire property without the consent of all the cotenants. If one of the common owners wishes to sell the entire property and the other cotenants do not, the co-owner can bring an action for partition and seek to have the property divided up or sold at auction with each owner paid his or her share of the proceeds.
