    Then you buy him out.

    I doubt you can evict him because he doesn't owe you rent and you have no agreement between you that he would pay any of the things you mentioned.
    There doesn’t need to be an agreeembt that the costs based on ownership of the property be shared. It’s split between the two of them.

    It still wouldnt allow op to evict his brother as each owner has a right of possession. He can sue for the money owed.

    It does not automatically flow from co-ownership that all expenses relating to a property are divided equally between the co-owners.

    While that is true, there are certain things that all owners are equally liable for...such as property taxes and association fees. So, if the OP was not paying those, the HOA and the taxing authority would be going after both of them.

    Actually the HOA and taxing authority do not go after anybody. They levy the fee/debt and send dunning notices to whomever is on record as the responsible party.

    The taxing authority doesn't care who owns the property or who pays the taxes. All their actions are against the property itself. Don't pay the taxes for 12 months and it goes to tax sale.
