Back in Season 1 or 2, there seemed to be a flashback to the time he moved in with her. He owned an Elvis lamp or something and they joked about how she didn't want to display it, I think.I always thought that looked like they were both moving in at the same time, I based this on the fact the refig was empty.
I'm with jsgrimm on this one. Back when I watched that episode it also seemed to me they were moving in TOGETHER!
My primary resource on ownership is J.T. Google, Esq. So if the deed and other legal papers have Nick as owner, then he can sell the house. If they have both Nick and Juliette as JT WROS, "joint tenants with the right of survivorship," then it seems that at Juliette's death Nick will own the property and can sell it.
Regardless, if Nick had ownership, why did he sleep on the sofa? Why not sleep in the spare bedroom? They both offered to move out. Both of them did move out (Nick to Monroe's attic and Juliette to her car, shack up with Renard, then with Kenneth, then RIP) so what gives?
If Juliette could achieve a DVM, didn't she know about hotels?

The simple fact is it's just custom. The GUY always has to move out. It may not be written down in law books, but there it is!
True story. Once many years ago, I had an old girlfriend living at my place. After an argument that was the final straw, I told her to get the hell out. She refused to go. I had to call the cops to have her removed. (If I had done it myself, I'd probably have been busted for domestic violence. I ain't that stupid.)
The cops tried to make me leave!! Her name wasn't even on the damned lease!! I had to actually show it to them to convince them she had no right to be there without my permission!
Why did Nick move out? Because in our society the guy is automatically presumed to be wrong!
