[T]he evidence shows that the defendant or its predecessors [appellee] had openly occupied the property prior to December 5, 1977 and have openly occupied it since that date. It also shows that the business improvements on the property are readily visible to those in the vicinity. The evidence overwhelmingly indicates that the plaintiffs had knowledge of the lease in issue. In light of this and the knowledge that the plaintiffs are all closely related family members, it becomes impossible to deny plaintiffs’ knowledge of the lease. By having knowledge of it and registering no timely objections to it, the non-joining cotenants have acquiesced and ratified the lease in question. Therefore, the non-joining co-tenants, as certainly the joining cotenant, are estopped to deny the validity of the lease.
