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.


Can an apartment manager deny an application of one of two prospective tenants who intend to share an apartment?

If Jack and Jill wish to rent an apartment, the manager has the right to deny Jack's application and to only accept Jill's. Then the manager can, at his discretion, rent the apartment only to Jill. So, only Jill's name shall appear on the lease. However, Jill can then bring in Jack as a roomate and the manager can do nothing about it. Jack can live there with Jill as long as they please (legally). However, the manager shall never be obligated to add Jack's name to the lease (under current law).


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 apartment with my roomate and weve two separate rooms my girlfriend needs to move in before i tell my roomate if he says no can she still legally move in and stay in my room?

If both your names are on the lease/rental agreement, then both of you have to agree. If only your name is on the lease/rental agreement, then he doesn't get much of say legally, but be aware that he's free to move out whenever he wants to, so you may lose your roommate who is contributing toward paying the rent. On a personal note...IMO it would be pretty s*cky for you to do this against your friend/roommate's wishes.


If you are evicted from your apartment can you live with your boyfriend in the same apartment complex?

If you move in with your boyfriend, by law you are supposed to add your name to the lease with the landlord. All persons age 18 and over are supposed to be added to the lease if they are permanent residents.


Boyfriend was added as occupant of my apartment to lease and arrested at our apartment due to police being called by neighbor can he be charged with tresspassing if he returns to apt.?

No. If his name is on the lease, he is permitted to come and go as he pleases. The only exception would be a restraining order which would prevent him from entering the apartment even if he lives there. The problem with that is that you would not be able to enter the apartment if he was already there too.

Can you break an apartment lease legally if you are getting a divorce?

Depends on the lease usually the answer is no, both parties are still legally obligated to the terms of the lease, so do not let your partner take their name off of the lease.AnswerContact your apartment management and see what terms they have available for you. The first answer may be that you cannot do this without paying out the remainder of the lease, but persist in taking this up to the owner, particularly if you cannot afford this on one income.
