My wife and her sister bought property together here in Missouri several years ago. We built a duplex house with a shared kitchen on the property together (My wife and I and her sister and her husband). We split the cost down the middle as we were building ourselves over the last few years.
.
My wife retired two years ago and we moved in and have been living in it for 2 years. The electric, phone, satellite TV and internet are in our name and they pay none of it. They come down every other weekend or so and use all of the above when they are here.
A few things such as the furnace and water well we paid for and they are to pay half off each of those items when they move in when he retires. We made a verbal agreement on all of this 4 years ago, The agreement was when they sell their house they are to pay us off (Just under $10,000).
Now they want to move in before they sell their house and not pay us the $10,000 which is breaking the verbal agreement. How can I tell them no and can I buy them out?
