check with your landlord, but typically you would just have to do an "Addendum to Rental Agreement to Remove Tenant."

just remember that all parties have to sign off on the document, the landlord has to agree to it, and that the deposit stays with the property until the lease completion. the person being removed from the lease would actually be waiving any claim to the security deposit. at the same time, the person being removed would no longer be responsible for any damages. that's why all parties involved have to sign.

What do you do if your spouse removes your name of a apartment lease and no laws have been broke?

Are you asking what to do if your spouse removes your name off an apartment lease? If so, and you guys are on the lease together, he can't take your name off the lease. If he had the lease prior to you moving in and added you as someone dwelling in the apartment and is now removing your name from that list there isn't really much you can do I'm afraid.
