Hi, all! This is my first post, so sorry if it's the wrong forum. I have a question regarding joint ownership and a tenant. Here's the scenario:

My two brothers own equal shares in a residential home in Brooklyn. One of my brothers,"Joe" allowed a friend of his to move in temporarily, until she found a job. This was done with the permission of my other brother, "John". However, the "friend" has lived in the home with them for four years and now "John" wants her out. "Joe" is dragging his heels. It seems as if he doesn't want the friend to go. Does "John" have any legal recourse, so fas as having her evicted?
