What Is Tenancy In Common?

January 12, 2023 - 12:55 pm EST

Written by Josh Patoka for Forbes Advisor- >

If you're preparing on purchasing realty with a friend, relative or service partner, you might consider an occupancy in common (TIC) contract. This legal arrangement permits for shared ownership of a home and defines the ownership stake for each celebration.

There are numerous shared ownership arrangements to pick from and this guide can help you choose if being tenants in common is the best path.

Tenancy in Common in Real Estate

Tenancy in common is a popular method for 2 or more people to buy a share of a residential or commercial property, using them equal access to the residential or commercial property. You can use this arrangement for individual or industrial residential or commercial properties.

This legal arrangement is most popular among pals, domestic partners and business collaborations, while other joint ownership structures are much better matched for partners and close loved ones due to more beneficial survivorship benefits.

There are 3 legal plans for numerous residential or commercial property owners:

Tenancy in typical: Owners can have unequal share stakes and offer their share at any time. Additionally, the stake of a deceased owner passes down to their heirs.
Joint occupancy: Each renter has an equivalent ownership share. When one renter dies, the others soak up the deceased's stake through a legal transfer process.
Tenancy by the entirety: Reserved for couples. In an occupancy by the whole arrangement, each partner has an equal interest and the enduring partner becomes the sole owner. One spouse can only sell or move their show the approval of another partner.

A realty lawyer can help you decide if it's finest to end up being renters in common, joint tenants in common or, if you're married, tenants by the totality.

Tenancy in Common Example

Here is a quick example of how a TIC agreement could look like for three company partners buying a financial investment residential or commercial property.

Shared ownership percentages. Each member can have an equivalent, undivided share or various ratios. For example, Owner A can own 50%, Owner B can have 30% with Owner C declaring the remaining 20%. The residential or commercial property deed lists the matching owner percentages.

Residential or commercial property usage. Each owner has equivalent access to the residential or commercial property even when they have different stakes.

Adding owners or selling shares. Additional owners can be contributed to the residential or commercial property deed as required. Existing owners can also transfer or offer their shares to another party as needed.

When an owner dies. When an occupant in typical dies, their stake can pass down to their heirs or estate. The other owners will not automatically presume the shares like in joint occupancy as there is no right of survivorship advantages.

Residential or commercial property taxes and expenditures. Depending upon the plan, each owner may pay taxes and ordinary group expenses in proportion to their stake. However, the legal agreement may likewise allow one party to pay for particular charges or specific expenses.

Resolving conflicts and deadlocks. A well-crafted legal arrangement can describe which subjects require a bulk vote. Additionally, the contract can explain which basic tasks only require action from one owner, such as repairing a water leak or a harmed roof.

In summary, all three owners share their expenditures and any investment earnings earned in percentage to their ownership amount. While the sharing quantity is normally percentage-based, it can be itemized by specific categories.

If one owner desires to offer or transfer their part to another buyer, they can do so without consent from the other owners. However, unless the one owner forces a sale through legal action, they can not sell the entire residential or commercial property without the approval of the other owners.

Joint Tenants vs. Tenants in Common

Most residential or commercial property co-owners will either pick an occupancy in common or a joint tenancy agreement. Below is a summary of how each legal plan works.

Advantages and disadvantages of Tenants in Common

There are some benefits and drawbacks to signing up with a TIC that you must weigh before forming one.

Pros of Tenants in Common

Flexible ownership interests: With a TIC, two or more co-tenants can have varying ownership percentages. This versatility makes it easier for owners with minimal funds to have fractional ownership in a home or investment residential or commercial property.
Easily offer or transfer shares: One occupant can offer or transfer their shares without consent from the other owners, so long as it's their specific share part just. It can likewise be fairly easy to revise the deed to update the ownership interest as new renters can be added.
Heirs can inherit your shares: Your estate strategy can designate which successor will acquire your share when you do. In contrast, a joint tenancy contract transfers the shares to the making it through co-owners.

Cons of Tenants in Common

No survivorship advantages: Unlike a joint tenancy contract, surviving co-owners do not immediately inherit a deceased renter's ownership share. This shift in ownership can create tension and lead to disputes.
Forced residential or commercial property sales: A single renter in common can force a residential or commercial property sale versus the co-tenants wishes through a court-ordered partition action. Large residential or commercial properties might be subdivided proportionally however smaller sized lots might need to be sold with the profits divided between the different owners.
Equal duty for residential or commercial property taxes: Local tax departments usually send a single residential or commercial property tax bill and all owners are equally accountable for paying. A comprehensive legal agreement may be needed to determine how each renter shares mandatory costs.
