Optional Information

State/Country relating to Question: New York

Already Tried:
I, one of the partners spoke with the other partner (there are only two individuals in the partnership)to have her remove her things, as she is hoarding and using the studio apartment as storage. To date the area has not been cleared. She was given a deadline of Sept. 30, 2009. The deadline was not met and she requested more time. The new deadline is now Nov. 30, 2009. If this new deadline is not met, I as a partner will seek legal redress.

Accepted Answer

Good morning. If you are both general partners, and the room is rented or owned by the general partnership, one general partner does not have the unilateral right to basically usurp the room for that partner's sole purpose. Each partner owes the other partner and the partnership a fiduciary duty to do what is in the best interest of the partnership. If you cannot come to some agreement, either of you can cause a dissolution of the partnership, in which case your interest in the room would be transferred to each of you individually.
