In H & Y Realty Co. v. Baron, 160 AD2d 412 (1st Dept 1990), the Appellate Division, First Department, observed that: It is well established that a tenant-in-common is liable for rent to his cotenant if he occupies the property to the exclusion of that cotenant. Similarly, a tenant-in-common who occupies the premises to the exclusion of his cotenant is responsible for all charges on the property, including real estate taxes. (160 AD2d at 414.)
