Question

If you buy a house with another person (not spouse) and they just pack up and leave after just 3 months, is there a way to get their name off of the deed? There was no money put down and pymts are $400. They say that they will sign off of the house for $3500. and they will add $500. for every month that Iit takes to get it.



Answer

It isn't clear "How" you purchased this house with the other person. Assuming you're both owners, they remain liable for half of the payments, taxes, repairs, and some utilities. Until they sign a quit claim deed to you, they remain liable to you for reimbursement of half the money you spend on the house. There is no longer information to determine if the cash offer is appropriate. But, until then, they may need to pay their $500 to you to offset housing expenses.

Good luck
