We both work full time and have a young child. 

Often there are many people involved, siblings in other states or a child or spouse they want to consult with before making a decision.

Maybe try not being a child about this, pay the rent that is owed and find a new place?

Some pensions can even be passed on to a survivor (spouse/child) further benefiting someone else even after you pass.

They make brass ones and you can put them on with a pliers so a child cant unscrew them.

The one I was able to find contact information from says "My brother owns the property and convinced my father to give it to him, I don't own any part of it" However doesn't each child own 50% of the property?

Parents want their small child's bedroom close by.
