Yes. Housing law has nothing to do with Immigration law, and a landlord has no obligation to investigate a prospective tenant's citizenship status. Furthermore, federal housing law prohibits discrimination based on race or ethnicity. The landlord who refuses to rent to someone because of a question of citizenship is probably basing his concern on ethnicity. Does the landlord ask every prospective tenant, or just those who look "foreign."

If a wife is the primary tenant in a New York City rent stabilized apartment can the spouse get their name on the lease too?
(2009) The landlord is under no obligation to add another name to the lease. He may add it at his option. He can also increase the rent upon doing so. The husband can become a roomate however, without needing permission from the landlord. In such instant, the landlord is not entitled to a rent increase based upon the addition of a roomate.

I live in an illegal basement in New York and I have not paid rent for a few months can the landlord stop me from entering my apartment?
This is a complex situation. First, the unit being illegal for residency is the responsibility of the landlord or property owner. However, having rented it out, he is still the landlord, and must follow local and state laws regarding eviction. Blocking access is not a legal option. The tenant having rented the property has the legal right to be there until that right has been quitted by the courts. Second, if the landlord has blocked access to the property for the tenant, the tenant's rights are being denied, and the landlord could be committing a crime. It may not be exclusively a civil matter. If however the tenant involves law enforcement to regain access to the property, the New York Housing Authority is likely to become involved, and the tenant may find himself evicted regardless.
