Can you sell your properties in monopoly?

No. The official rules require that you own all properties in a set before you can build houses on them. This means both properties for the Whitechapel/Old Kent Road block and for the Mayfair/Park Lane block. All other sets require three properties.

A hotel cannot be built without four houses being present first, so the same rule is implied here.

Many people play house rules whereby this restriction does not apply.

Charles Darrow did NOT "invent" Monopoly. He did not even "create" the Atlantic City version. Lets go back to 1902 when we have our first reference to The Landlord's Game that you initially mentioned. This was patented on January 5th. 1904 by Lizzie Magie, a Quaker woman, who intended the game to be an educational game enlightening players as to the wrongs of monopolies. The game developed within the Quaker community and Magie acquired a second patent (patent no 1,509,312) in 1924. This patent number actually appears on early Parker Brothers' editions of Monopoly from 1935 through to about 1941 as a single patent or part of a duel patent number.

On 1st. January, 1933 Darrow and his wife were introduced to the game when they attended a Monopoly party with friends. Darrow claimed that he liked the game so much that he asked for a concise set of rules. He also made a copy of the board, including copying the incorrect spelling of Marven Gardens that his Quaker friends had incorrectly written when they drew up the board. Darrow then started to produce the game fraudulently claiming it as his own invention and copyrighting it in 1933. He never again spoke to the Quaker group that he had learnt the game from.

Having bought the rights to the game from Darrow, Parker Brothers discovered the real history of Monopoly and had to buy the rights to other games to avoid court cases being made against them. Magie received a mere $500 for her 1924 patent of The Landlord's Game.

For a full history of Monopoly I suggest you read two books, 'Monopolygate' by Ralph Anspach for the anti-Parker Brothers' version and 'Monopoly, The World's Most Famous Game and How it got that Way' by Phillip E. Orbanes from the pro-Parker Brothers' prespective.

The related link, Maxine Brady's book, was written in the 1970s before the true history of Monopoly came to light.
