Generally speaking it is a tenant who has faked records such as employment or even identity when renting. Many of these tenants use rentals for illegal purposes and often damage property.

Wife married in community of property signs lease with tenant without husbands consent and does not disclose this information to the tenant nor disclose information to husband considered as fraud?

It is not fraud if it was done inadvertently. The effect would be that the lease is invalid. The question would be the extent of the damages incurred. If there is a great deal of money involved you should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and determine what your options are. Perhaps the husband could sue for half of the rent money that was collected and also require that the tenant must move out.
