Joint ownership of a rental property doesn't necessarily need a Partnership return.
From the Partnership (Form 1065) Instructions: "A joint undertaking merely to share expenses is not a partnership. Mere co-ownership of property that is maintained and leased or rented is not a partnership. However, if the co-owners provide services to the tenants, a partnership exists. "
