I worked for an employer in The Marshall Islands from 2018 to 2020, during which I worked 90 days in a row twice without being paid overtime. I was a firefighter and not a supervisor.

My husband and I own a 3-family home, purchased during our marriage, with the mortgage in my name and the deed jointly with my mother (1% interest). I recently discovered that two tenants have left without my knowledge, reducing our income and putting us in a deficit. My husband has not informed me about these changes and is assuming he will buy me out of the property. I am concerned about the impact on mortgage payments and want to know if my husband is allowed to make these tenant changes without informing me, and what actions I can take to address this situation.
