Was is your basis to evict? If your brother the co-owner is allowing it, it's going to be a complicated situation.

You may consider contacting the tenant, or paying someone to contact the tenant to see if they will voluntarily move out - the problem you have is they may have a contract with your brother so it could be seen as interference with present contractual relationship. It's a mess and unfortunately I'm going to advise to hire and attorney in this situation. Normally a basic eviction can be done by an owner himself/herself and it's not that complicated - here it is complicated and you want to do it right.

If you need to hire, you're welcome to call, I can discuss it and probably refer you to someone in this area.

The above is general information and not advice.
