Co owner not paying utility bills

Sibling is co owner of property along with me. I am paying all utility bills since she has changed residence and is not responding to calls or messages.

I emailed list of expenses to her. I also had to apply for water connection to property and paid hefty amount as official deposit fee. At that time also, I could not inform her about the same.

What can I do to recover the money spent for the property? She is simply remaining inaccessible but is taking rents from her tenants every month online.

This situation can be frustrating, and you might want to explore legal options to recover the money you've spent on the property. You can start by sending a formal legal notice to your sibling, outlining the expenses and your request for reimbursement. If this doesn't prompt a response, you may need to consider filing a civil suit for recovery of dues. It’s best to consult with a lawyer experienced in property disputes to guide you through the process and help resolve the issue. Feel free to reach out if you'd like assistance with this.

As suggested, you may serve a legal notice. You have the option to file a civil action. However, such a measure could involve much expense and time. In the alternate, yo may file a complaint before the adalats functining under the Legal Service Authority.

File a civil suit for mandatory injunction through a local prudent lawyer.

You can proceed by issuing a legal demand notice demanding the amount pertaining to her share in the property failing which you can file a money recovery suit as well as injunction suit to refrain her from collecting rent from jointly owned property till the disposal of the main suit
