In determining the sufficiency of any protest or petition as provided in Section 37-213 of this title, the governing body shall be guided by these rules:

2. The protest or petition shall be counted only for the property described as belonging to the signer;

3. The signature of one co-owner shall be counted only to the extent of the signer's interest in the property, but the signature of one joint tenant will protest or petition the entire interest;

4. A protest or petition signed by a guardian, executor, administrator or trustee shall be valid without an order of court therefor; and

5. A protest or petition is valid if signed by a person who has an equitable title, including a recorded contract of purchase.
