Tenants in common is a type of ownership in which two or more parties have an undivided interest in the property. With tenants in common, the owners may or may not have equal shares of ownership, and there are no rights of survivorship. However, each owner retains the right to sell his or her share in the property as he or she sees fit with tenants in common ownership.
