<prompt> Human: Hey reddit,So as the title says, Ive lived with my cousins in a single house split into two levels. My cousin lives on the second level, we live in the first. My grandma owned the house, but when she passed away the head of household became my cousin. We have been splitting rent equally the entire time, but we have no proof of splitting because we pay all our bills in cash. We have no proof that we did pay equally and when we tried to request for partial ownership they denied the request. Now they are trying to sell the house. We really dont want to leave and having a family member threaten to kick us out disheartens me. What are my options? Please let me know if you have any suggestions or need more information.  <response>: so who owns the house? it doesnt matter what you think youre entitled to. because as far as the law is concerned, the house belonged to your grandma, and now the question is who did it go to after she died? who are you paying your bills to? who denied you partial ownership? why do you think youre entitled to partial ownership? the owner of the house is allowed to kick you out and sell the house. you can offer to buy it, if you wish.
