He has the right to the use and possession of the property if he inherited it. Keep track of the expenses such as taxes, insurance, utilities, municipal services and maintenance. You will need to sue him for his half of those expenses if he won't pay his share.
Answer
Life is too short to share with someone you are unhappy living with, and you do not deserve the trouble he is bringing to you. Insist on a resolution and do not walk away from your share, which is what he may be trying to make you do. He could refinance and pay you your share, or vice versa. You definitely need an agreement ASAP as to how the repairs, utilities and household will be managed if you continue to live together. It is a shame that the deceased was not specific as to how to handle this.
Yes. A landlord can charge different rents for different apartments, since no two apartments are exactly the same. Also, if the old tenants think they are paying too much, they can leave at the end of the lease term.
You just ask them to pay monthly and have them sign a lease saying they will.
No she can't! both must pay the same!

Normally, the landlord does not charge for water. In most states it is illegal for landlords to charge their tenants separate utilities. However, the landlord can have utilities in its own name, the bills of which can be passed over to the tenant for payment. Also the tenant is not allowed to charge for water and sewer to tenant of multi family attached units (such as apartments).
In Florida a landlord can charge as much as he wants. They can have "specials" or other incentive to lure tenants.
The reserves should take care of it. Unless the tenants specifically did something to damage the pavement, then maintenance is included in the cost of their rent.

Yes, in most areas the rental owner can charge tenants amounts in excess of the security deposit. Some local laws prevent this. So if you destroyed something or did major violations of occupancy rules, yes, quite likely that you will have to pay. Most landlords will be tough talking about suits and possible criminal charges, but honestly most will negotiate with you to some extent.

In NY, landlords can charge reasonable late fees to tenants who are late on their rent if this is disclosed in the lease agreement.
