What is the tenancy in common legislation of California?

- Tenancy in common is a legal arrangement in which two or more people hold title to real property jointly.

- Under California tenancy in common law, each tenant in common owns an undivided interest in the property, and each has the right to possess and use the property.

- Each tenant in common can transfer his or her interest in the property to another person without the consent of the other tenants in common, but a tenant in common cannot transfer his or her interest to a third party without the consent of the other tenants in common.

- If one tenant in common dies, his or her interest in the property passes to his or her heirs.

- Tenancy in common is often used when two or more people buy a property together, but do not want to be held jointly and severally liable for the mortgage or other debts associated with the property.

- In California, tenancy in common is governed by the California Civil Code, Division 2, Part 1, Title 4, Chapter 1, Article 1, Sections 682 to 686.
