Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in California

owner of 10% interest in house; other owners won't buy me out

I inherited a 10% interest in a house. The current tenants won't buy my portion out. I need the money like yesterday. What can I do to annoy them into it? A friend suggested showing up on their doorstep asking for keys so I can move in, or renting out a room to a stranger and collecting money... having my mail sent to the house, parking in their driveway, etc. Are these things illegal? Is it harrassment? By the way, the will and the deed lists us as tenants in common...

you want to make sure its actually 10% and not an equal percentage.

In any event, you can file for partition, requiring the property be sold.
