1. ““It is, of course, a well-recognized principle that in the absence of any agreement to compensate his co-tenants, a co-tenant who has entered upon the common property without excluding the others or interfering with their rights is under no obligation to account to them for any profits that he may have made. 14 Am.Jur. p. 102; Turner v. Johnson [246] Ala. [114], 19 So.2d 397 . “It is equally well-settled, however, that such tenant in common may enter into an agreement by which he becomes a tenant of the others and is responsible for rent. Long v. Grant, 163 Ala. 507 , 50 So. 914 , 136 Am.St.Rep. 86 .””
