By contrast, tenancy in common is a form of shared ownership where two or more persons own land without the right of survivorship. 比较而言,普通共有是共享所有权的形式,两个或以上的共有人共有地产但均不享有遗属权。
Each cotenant may sever the joint tenancy by the act that is inconsistent with the continued existence of the joint tenancy, thus effects conversion of joint tenancy into a tenancy in common and destruction of the right of survivorship. 任何一个联合共有人都可以通过采取与联合共有的存续不一致的行为来分离(sever)联合共有,从而将联合共有转变为普通共有并消灭生存者获得权。
