The living expense claim has merit. its one of several factors that will be used to determine how to split the net proceeds of the sale of the property. You can't live in a house owned by others for free. However, everyone also has a duty to cover expenses. If the resident lived and covered all the expenses, those expenses will be used to offset any amount that person owes for living there. Usually the net effect is a minimal adjustment to the split in proceeds. In other words, the claim is usually not a huge deal in the end result.
