Question

Describe how an unrelated tenant in common or joint tenant should protect him- or herself from potential liability (for negligence, injury to guests, or casualty loss) if his or her fellow tenants are not willing to buy insurance to do so?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tenancy in common

Explanation:

This tenant could use a legal agreement known as Tenancy in common. This agreement is established between two people who are co-tenants of a residence, but while one person is interested in purchasing insurance to protect themselves from potential liability, the other tenant is not willing to purchase insurance. In this case, Tenancy in common, allows only one of the tenants to have support with the right of survivorship and in case that tenant dies, the right will not pass to the other tenant.
