Joint tenants share equal rights over the property, and one tenant typically cannot sell or encumber the property without the consent of the other tenants. If one joint tenant is unaware of the sale, it could indicate that proper agreement procedures were not followed, thus providing grounds for that tenant to challenge or void the contract.
