The landlord is going through divorce and has failed after many requests to offer a way to make rent payments. Are we liable for back rent if there is no way to get the rent money to him?

Quick House Sale

My husband informed me today that he has someone coming to look at our house to buy it. I knew we both agreed to sell it in the future (after he finnished some repairs) but I had no idea he was going to do so this fast. He flat out told me that he is going to take the first offer, no matter how much it is, as long as it equal to or high than what we own. The thing is, it’s worth two times what we owe, and i dont want to be ripped off. Since my name is on the mortgage too, he cant sell it without my approval or agreeance, can he?

My story is a bit like divorce but involves myself and my younger sister.

The short version is that I bought a run down flat with my sister and we have a joint mortgage. The plan was to do it up and split the profit 50/50. What happened was I ended up having to do the large majority of the renovation work and pay for most of the materials, while she made excuses and eventually refused to acknowledge that she wasn’t contributing to anything but the mortgage.

Now the work is finished (and we hate each other) we want to sell, but she is refusing to accept less than 50%. My parents are not helping and say that the work I’ve done doesn’t make any difference to how the profit should be split.

So, my question is does the work done to improve the value of a property come into consideration at all legally? And what is the likely hood of my being granted a higher share if it were to go to court?
