It depends on the terms of the agreement that was signed when you became Joint Tenants. If there was no clause that says they are in default if they don't pay rent, they are in the clear. Though, that is a very rare case. You could take it to a lawyer, since there is, most likely, no clause outlining what is expected of the tenant in instance of bankruptcy, and make a case for the current and back-owed rent that has not been paid.

not in any state. To get repairs, the tenant needs to give the LL 30 days to make any repairs. If not done, the tenant is to call licensed contractors who do the kinds of work done that the tenant needs done. THE tenant pays the contractor and gets a receipt. The tenant gives a copy of the receipt and any remaining rent [gross rent minus that amount paid for repairs] due to the landlord.
