Can one tenant in a Tenancy in Common sell or mortgage their interest without consent from the other tenants?

  1. Yes, without needing consent

  2. No, consent from all tenants is required

  3. Only with approval from a judge

  4. Yes, but only if selling to a family member

The correct answer is: Yes, without needing consent

In a Tenancy in Common, each tenant has the right to sell or mortgage their share of the property without the consent of the other tenants. This means that option B and C, which suggest that consent or approval is required, are incorrect. Option D may seem like a possible answer, but it is not entirely accurate. While selling to a family member may not require consent, it is not the only circumstance in which a tenant can sell or mortgage their share without consent. This is why option A is the correct answer.
