The more common usage is Tenants By the Entirety. Your second spelling is also listed in Black's Law Dictionary. They have the same meaning.
I assume that 'dedicated square foot measurement' refers to the area within a rented space that is solely for the use of the tenant. The BOMA standard refers to this as the 'useable' area. The BOMA standard provides a method to fairly allocate shared spaces in the building to tenants. Areas are grossed up to account for shared spaces on each floor and then again for spaces that are common to all tenants such as lobbies. The usable area number is grossed up by a factor to account for the tenants proportionate share of common areas in the building. The resulting number is the BOMA 'rentable' area. There are slight differences in the methodology depending on the specific BOMA standard that is applicable. The standards are available on BOMA's website. See 'related links' for the BOMA website as well as a link to a page that gives a visual description of the BOMA area calculation method.
How to own property can differ from state to state. Also, corporations and securities companies can have their own restrictions. For example, I know of a bank that creates all joint accounts as having survivorship rights, they do not create tenants in common. Caveats aside, yes, people can generally own stock together jointly.
1. No because they have unity of possession of unpartitioned property 2. For partitioned property, the other party can rent his part to the other 3. A single residence cannot be partitioned and if any disagreement the parties must apply for a partition and court will order a sell and divide the money less cost of the listing and escrow expenses, if the parties cannot come to an agreement

Joint tenancy is actually a term involving ownership of property. The two most common legal forms of property ownership involving two or more people are as "joint tenants" or as "tenants in common." Spouses of one another generally take title as joint tenants, because on the death of a joint tenant the surviving joint tenant automatically becomes the owner of the property. If they had been tenants in common, the deceased person's share would have formed part of the deceased person's estate, which might not have been left to the surviving tenant in common.

By owning property as joint tenants with the right of survivorship, when one dies the survivor automatically becomes the sole owner and there is no need for probate. By owning as tenants in common, when one dies their half interest passes to their heirs by will or by the laws of intestacy. In that case their estate must be probated.
If you want the property to pass to the co-owner automatically if one owner dies then you should take title as joint tenants with the right of survivorship.a) Joint Tenants, with rights of survivorship (the title automatically passes to the survivor if one dies per above). Joint tenants do have a right of survivorship, but a joint tenant may sell or give away her interest in the property. If a joint tenant sells her interest in a joint tenancy, the tenancy becomes a tenancy in common, and no tenant has a right of survivorshipb) Tenants in Common: All tenants in common hold an individual, undivided ownership interest in the property. This means that each party has the right to alienate, or transfer the ownership of, his/her ownership interest. Tenants in common do not have a right of survivorship. In a tenancy in common, persons may sell or give away their ownership interest.
When two or more people purchase land, they can own it as 'joint tenants' or as 'tenants in common'. If they own it as joint tenants, they each own an equal share of the property. If one joint tenant dies, his/her share is extinguished and the remaining joint tenant(s) is/are the owner(s). The share of the deceased joint tenant does not become part of his/her estate. A husband and wife will usually own a property as joint tenants. If they own it as tenants in common, the share owned by each does not have to be equal. If one tenant in common dies, that share of the property becomes part of the estate of the deceased tenant in common. Usually the deed itself will state that the owners are either joint tenants or tenants in common.
That depends on how they took title. If they acquired as joint tenants with the right of survivorship title automatically passes to the surviving owner, with no need for probate. If they took title as tenants in common the interest of the decedent passes to their heirs and must be probated.
That will depend on how the property was owned. If it was Joint Tenants (with right of survivorship, no) or Tenants in Common (if he wants to keep the property, yes).
It depends on how the co-owners held title. If by survivorship the property automatically will become the sole property of the survivor. If held as tenants in common the decedent's interest will pass to their estate and distribute to their heirs.It depends on how the co-owners held title.

That depends on how the property was titled. If the spouses owned as joint tenants with the right of survivorship or tenants by the entirety (as most married couples do) then you have no claim whatsoever. In that case, the property automatically passed to the surviving spouse. If it happens the property was owned as tenants in common then you may acquire an interest in your deceased parent's half along with the surviving spouse providing the parent didn't leave the property to their surviving spouse by will. First check the tenancy on their deed.
Yes. And what a mess it would be.
No, it is not.
A joint tenancy IS a form of ownership where the owners are NOT tenants in common.
