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.

In New York State, yes. Rent stabilized tenants may add a spouse (same-sex or not) to any lease renewal at no additional cost. If the spouse is not added, he/she is nonetheless entitled to succession rights if able to prove that he/she lived in the apartment at least two years prior to the tenant's death (one year if the tenant was disabled). For jurisdictions which offer both rent control and same-sex marriage, there is no difference in the way marriages are treated, be they same-sex or opposite-sex.
