Rights to Lease Property: Co-owners can lease out jointly owned property, but they typically need mutual consent. If the co-ownership agreement specifies, one owner might lease the property independently. However, without such an agreement, unilateral leasing can lead to legal disputes and potential partition actions.
As joint tenants, each cotenant has the right of survivorship in the other's half-interest. When the joint tenancy is severed, each cotenant gives up their survivorship right to the other cotenant to succeed to the other cotenant's half interest.
Under Florida law, when you add the words “right of survivorship” to a joint tenancy, that means full title to the real estate goes to the owner that survives the death of the other(s). The “survivor” of the joint owners automatically owns 100% of the asset when the other joint owner (or owners) passes away.
In order to afford marriage-like protections, one partner may quitclaim their interest in real property to themselves and their partner as joint tenants with rights of survivorship. This will ensure that when one partner passes, the other will be the owner of the real property.

As of 2022, Minnesota has two kinds of property ownership if there are multiple owners: joint tenancy and tenancy-in-common. Under both ownership systems, all owners have a right to access all the property and no single owner can prohibit another owner from any part of the property without their consent.
Under tenancy in common, when a tenant in common passes away the shares that belong to the dead owner pass to heirs under the laws of Minnesota inheritance. Unlike with a joint tenancy, the tenants in common do not have a right of survivorship in the shares owned by the deceased.
Tenants in common gives you more protections and you can specify in a deed of trust what you would want to happen in the event of relationship breakdown (eg if one of you has first dibs to buy the other out, or a time limit on doing so etc) which is definitely better to decide now whilst you still like each other!
