If my sister owns a trailer that sits in my front yard on property that I hold a 1/3 interest in, can she rent that trailer to an outside party without my permission?
I own 1 and 1/4 acres where I reside in a home that I built. The adjoining and surrounding 7 and 3/4 acres are owned jointly by my 2 sisters and me; 1 of my sisters keeps an empty and run down mobile home on the property in front of my house.

Your sister has the right to rent out the trailer that she owns to a third party. However, if that trailer is on land that you own alone that she has no interest in, then you can require your sister to remove that trailer off of your land with or without the current tenant in it. I suggest that if you want to press the issue that you consult with a landlord tenant attorney to assist you in such an endeavor.
